Re: Start overbetting the pot?
When you bet 300, the pot became 600. That means that he is betting 50% of the pot to win the thing on a flush draw, which really isn't a good bet unless he can guarantee increasing his implied odds (in this case, he did that). Perhaps he is also banking on his J overcard, which is something you have to consider since you only have nines. Sometimes a guy limps in with AK trying to trap. There was no guarantee that he had only a flush draw working.
Unless you put the guy on a bigger pair, I might have gone all in after the flop with the hand you had. This kind of aggressive play screams trips, and they are likely to fold, IMO, without an overpair. Nines are dangerous, IMO.
