Re: T9s, a hand v Hobbs.
[ QUOTE ]
This brings me to my next question. Is the turn a good bet call? Should I have checkraised?

The problem with check-raising is that Hobbs will be very capable of finding a fold with a hand like 55 there. Betting both the turn and the river is a better way to get two bets in, particularly as he'll often raise the turn with inferior hands.
Personally, I think we should be betting the turn, calling the raise, and donk-betting the river even if the T doesn't come up. And I do think we need to call a river raise because if Hobbs knows who you are he's got to know you are donking the river with the intent of folding to a raise a huge percentage of the time. (In fact, in Hobbs position, if he knew it were you, you could argue raising the river is better than calling with almost any hand he'd want to call with).
