Two Hands Against a Muppet

[philnewall]

hand 1:

New to the table, and I don't have any relevant data on my opponents. The preflop cold-call and the river check/planning on calling 1 bet back to me are both questionable, whats interesting is that my opponent gave all that action with just a pair of 9s.

River: (22 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks.

Final Pot: 22 BB

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has Jh Kh (high card, king).
UTG+1 has Ks 9c (one pair, nines).
Hero has 9s 9h (three of a kind, nines).
Outcome: Hero wins 22 BB. </font>

Now, this is the very next hand, UTG+1 is UTG+1 from the last hand. Given the fact that he didn't jam up the flop or turn I didn't think top pair was all that likely, given his performance in the hand right before this. I therefore felt like middle/bottom pair was a lot more likely, and on the river when both of these are paired who goes for the last bet against this opponent?
