Slowing down with a boat??
 

I wont go into too much detail (mostly because I don't remember the small things)

50 NL Party Poker 10 handed

I have pocket ducks (22)

I flop a set with a board of

2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, he bets, I call.
The Turn: comes another 9 (suit unimportant)
I check again, he bets, I raise, he reraises I just call.

I'm not sure what he raised to, and what I reraised to. At this point I was Thinking he may have J9

The river came a 10 and he bet I just called.

Should I have raised the rest of his stack all-in on the river? He had 16 left after his bet on the river. Was it right to slow down when I hit my boat? I'm not too sure If I played this well at all. It doesn't look good to me.

Any and all opinions welcomed.
Thanks in advance! (sorry so short on details)

I would try to get it all-in with this hand. He could have something like A9 or K9 and hit his trips on the turn. Without any information on the player it is hard to tell for sure. Also the information on stack sizes as well as the amounts of bets and raises will be helpful in future posts.

The way I look at it is I am playing the small PP to flop a set and hopefully double up. So unless the board is really scary, (say 3 cards to a straight flush, or something like that), I am going to try to get the money in. If I am beaten I'll reload.

PS. This hand should be posted in small stakes NL... no big deal though....
