I have a hard time playing 99/TT. When they don't improve and I have a lot of opponents and high cards on the flop it's an easy fold. I have however a harder time to play them when the flop is 'good', but when there are also a lot of opponents, since i figure they have together a lot of outs against me and they are not going to fold a lot of hands on a flop like this (for a single bet). If someone bets in front of me I would raise.

Should I have bet/raised pre flop?
Should I have bet the flop?
Should I have bet the river in example 2?
