Rolled up.. when to stick the raise?
 

I'm usually of the mind to fast-play my rolled-up hands... but with all the dead cards here and the hangers-on, I decided to slow it down. I was immediately to the left of the guy leading the betting, and with all the dead cards I wasn't fearing too much strength from anyone. Anyone play this one differently?

Re: Rolled up.. when to stick the raise?
 

I think I'd go ahead and reraise third. But given you didn't, you're in good position to wait for 6th I guess. I might raise 5th because your case 9 just showed up, which generally convinces people that you're not rolled.

Re: Rolled up.. when to stick the raise?
 

I would probably pop it on fifth, because, with the case 9, they won't put you on rolled 9s, so you may get raised back on sixth or the river by someone with two pair better than 9s up

Re: Rolled up.. when to stick the raise?
 

I would of popped 4th. Most players would put you on two pair J's and 9's. It reinforces your two pair when the case 9 comes out later in this instance and someone might reraise later if they caught a higher two pair. JMO.

This struck me as funny, for some reason.

With the caller between you and the Ace, I favor a raise on third. Having just called, I would pop it on fifth. Yeah, you might run everyone out, but that really wouldn't be so terrible. You get it heads-up with position, some money in the pot, and likely much the best hand. And who knows, maybe they'll call anyway. Only one way to find out.

Since you chose to continue to slow-play, the raise on sixth was mandatory. Nice hand.
