So the villian is a retard and has 76. This looks fine to me. Well played imo.

Absolutely fine.

If raised on the flop I 3bet it. If capped then it's a laydown on fourth street. A cap almost certainly means at least trips.

Looking good.
He woulda raised you on the turn if he had a Q.
He probably just made a pair of snowmen.

Snowmen are eights right?

Just checking.

yep.

Looks pretty good to me. You could raise preflop here as well. Postflop looks pretty standard.

I'm hearing that people will raise with 99 in any position. On the button, I'd raise it for sure.

I open raise with 99 anywhere.

Nines are a big favorite over any hand with a card lower than a 9. You're raising for value. Most people get dealt hands with one card lower than a 9. If both their cards are lower than nine then you are a huge favorite, since they probably have to hit two pair or trips to beat you.

At least that's why I think you raise here. I'll let others elaborate if I got part of it wrong.
