Re: Ugly board with a set.... call or raise?
You have to bet the turn because he could have one club, and because there are straight draws. There are way too many ways the board can get scarier, and if it does you're either beat or not getting paid off. The way you played it, call, because "raise flop, check behind, raise a potsized river bet" screams flush or straight, so there is no way he pays you off with a worse hand and very little chance you fold out a better one. Call and kick yourself for letting Q9 get there.
