No. Cap the flop.

Other than that, looks ok.

Cap the flop. Otherwise played very well.

Cap the flop for value.

Is there an echo in here?

Just for reference, A9 is a different beast than A6 or A7 or even A8. Sure, it can't make a straight, but A9 is definitely better than your average Ax.

(cap flop same as above), however I have a slight problem with your turn bet - in .5/1 party i think if someone can 3-bet you on the flop, he's got more than top pair (so you are beat on turn with your single pair); i wouldn't bet the turn.

Should I have reraised the turn?

Turn bet/call like you did is good.

call me LAGgy, but with people already trapped I'd three bet the turn - only cause I picked up boatloads of outs (I have to feel good if I catch an ace or a 9 in addition to one of my hearts). any other card on the turn, and I call.

Cap the flop. I would have check-raised the river, but your line prolly worked pretty well.
