i think you need to bet the flop. if SB checkraises you then just give up, but you shouldnt give a free card and betting gives you more information than checking for sure.

I agree that betting is way better, and that it also gives you more information. If button calls your bet, and then SB checkraises, I would be inclined to peel one though. You will be getting 16:1, and only need to make up 3 BB, against 2 opponents, with hands they like. If button folds however, I don't think you can extract enough value out of SB enough of the time.

Also, to the OP, using the reason of "they will call my flop bet with any two" is not a reason to check.

I call, button shows 7h8h and my nines are good.

All of you telling me to bet the flop do you bet the entire way if getting called? The person that said I shouldnt check just because they would call with anything, how many bets do you want to put in with 99 on this board? If I check flop, button bets, sb raises i fold, button bets sb calls I call and evaluate on the turn, if button checks as in the hand I have a lot more info on the hand.
Button is likely not going to check any pairs on that flop narrowing his range some. If it checks through and sb bets I feel its an easy fold as he could have been trying to slowplay something. If its checked to me Id normally expect to bet and take the pot down there after all the checking.

I just feel that betting the flop is not going to get them to fold anything in a pot this size and just opens me up for one of them to get tricky and bluff raise the turn and me investing 1.5bb to get bluffed off when I could have invested less and gotten the same information.
