Regardless of the results, with the board this draw heavy on the flop should i have check raised instead of betting out on the flop? On the turn only a straight flush is beating me and i decided to call instead of check raise or bet out(i don't want to lose him if he has the straight or is drawing to it). I was thinking i could make up any bets on the river that i'm losing on the turn, and quad nines is too good to risk having him fold.
Obviously I usually like the river here, now the lone Ac is going to go to war with me. In this case it didn't work out, but i can't think of any reason to not go 4 bets here. I'll admit this is a bit of a bad beat post, but just want to see if anyone thinks i could have gotten more bets in for those times i'm winning this, which is a lot more often than i'm losing it (on the turn and river anyway).
