In order to checkrasie, someone will have to bet.

Who do suppose will do that?

CO was pretty tight, like 15/x PF. Stupid to think he has top pair and will want to protect it on the turn, or two pair/set?

Your hand has zero chance of improvement after the flop.
Opponents may have lots of opportunities to draw and beat you.
Lots of worse hands will call your bet.
A T, J or [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] may kill your action and/or cost you.

So I play it just like you did.

That 9 is not scaring anyone. Lead out. Why risk letting a draw have a free card? You have the nuts (for now), but there are a lot of scare cards left in the deck ( any [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A,K or Q).
