Why did you call the flop raise, then go crazy when a bad card came? You were in better shape to be raising on the flop

I would either 3-bet the flop or call and lead the turn.
I don't like the c/r on the turn. It's too risky to miss bets here on a 4-straight board.
I don't give him credit for a 9, but when one falls you are screwed. If this would be his only winning chances I wouldn't want him to get infinite odds for that with a freecard.

You might just call the turn 3-bet and check-call the river.

You are most likely ahead on the turn (he didn't raise preflop from the BB with a 9 to pad the pot), and even if you are behind to a straight you still have 10 outs to improve to a boat or better.
The only worrysome holding he might have are TT and JJ.

I put villain on an overpair and that he is the "I loose millions with AA, cause they always get cracked"-type guy.

I don't know how many hands you have logged with villain, but a PFR of 2.3 and the raise coming from BB screams high pair.

Heads up against this player, I like your play.

*Edit: Forgot, why didn't you 3-bet the flop?

3-bet the flop. Even if you're behind something goofy like a made straight, you'll fill up by the river 1/3 of the time, so you make money by getting as many bets as possible in on the flop with at least 2 callers.

Turn: No good can come of this. Worst card to C/R. Bet/call. Do not cap after he 3-bets. It's possibly he just made 2 pair or some otehr crap, but a 9 will definitely 3-bet your ass...

River: check/call.

The way this played out, if villain shows a 9 he's incredibly weak-tight.

Thanks for all the replies. I probably should have mentioned that I didn't 3-bet the flop because I thought my hand was a monster and I was going to jam him on the turn. I figured he had a high pair (as many of you have pointed out from the pfr%). So I guess my real question was, with 4 to a straight, should I forgo the check/raise and just bet out? Or since most likely hand for villain was a high pair, continue with that action? Or with the board as it was (even if i figured he had high pair), just 3-bet the flop?
