There are a few reasons that I don't like this play with this specific flop. First of all, there are several hands that people may limp in that include a 9. 79, 89, T9, J9, Q9, K9, A9, are all hands that are commonly played. I don't like most of them (especially K9 and A9) for a number of reasons, but many people play them regularly. Because of the fact that you can't really be sure what you are up against, do you really want to draw to a hand that could very likely be no good if you hit it? If the flop was 929, I'd say go for it. However, if an ace or a king hit on the river, would you call a big bet? What about if a deuce hit? If so, I'm really not crazy about chasing a set. You are going to have such a difficult time determining if your hand is good when facing a raise or a reraise on the river that I'd really advise against chasing the set. Most people will re-raise you if you raise on the river if they are holding a 9 for the simple reason that if you raise and they have a decent kicker, they are probably thinking that you are making a move on them. That would be your best case. What if they reraise you with a better full house, though? You just lost your stack in a pot where you should not have been involved past the flop... It's one thing if you have TT, but with an underpair, chasing is a very dangerous business...
