My opponent has a mouse icon, but i didnt know that until now. My question though is should I have raised when the second 9 flopped on the turn?

I'm really surprised at the responses. First, I don't like the LRR. Just raise. If it's a tight table, that's reason to raise MORE, not less.

I don't like the flop check-raise, and I especially don't like it after the LRR. There's no reason think he's going to bet that flop for you.

But since you ended up in this mess, check-call the turn and river.

From what you've given, I'm not folding this hand. Telling me that he has a "mouse" icon isn't enough for me to lay down an overpair heads up. Is it a 20 hand stat? A 200 hand stat? It makes a huge difference. Tell me that you haven't seen him raise preflop in the last 80 hands. Tell me that he hasn't raised a scary flop without something strong. Give me a real read, and maybe you'll get a different response.
