Default Re: 5/10 - set of nines...

I think its fine the way you played it. Youre obviously taking a big chance by not raising the flop, which I would do, but if you get the blank you're hoping for on the turn and you think he'll get sucked into the hand I think its ok. The way he played it looks like pair+draw/bottom two pair type hand. Overbetting the turn especially makes it look like he wants people who are drawing to be gone, then combined with his deliberating along time over the call of your raise. If he has diamonds by some retarded twist of fate, so be it, but I cant see him not-reraising the turn with any other hand that beats you. Also, if he'd decided to call down with bottom 2 or top and bottom pair or something, he could very well make this bet on the end (since he's planning on calling anyway) thinking there may be some outside chance you'd fold a better hand.
