Re: J9 in the SB. AA98 board.
This hand is perfectly played.
I've found one area of resent growth in my game comes in realizing when calls clearly demonstrate that my hand is no good.
Against a single call, bet-folding the turn might be correct. But it is simply way too unlikely that between three callers on this board one of them doesn't at least have an A, a better 9, or a pair like TT (with the probability someone has an A being like 80% or better).
Small stakes players will often never raise an A here, and so calls on a board like this are very scary. Three players can't all have flush draws.
