99 Full house-- slowplayed too much??

[Str8Fish]

This is from the Crypto site, so here's a ghetto version:

Hold'em FL ($1/$2)
Hero is SB with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Preflop:
UTG raises, all fold to Hero, Hero calls, BB folds. (5 SB)
Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero Checks, UTG Checks
Turn: A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero Checks, UTG Bets, Hero Calls. (4.5BB)
River: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero Bets, UTG Raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG 4-bets, Hero Calls
Final Pot: 12BB

-When UTG was raising and re-raising, I knew he had an ace, but I wasn't sure if his kicker had hit. Otherwise, I would have kept reraising. I could have kept reraising in the FL game until I was all in.
-I have no read on him either.
-I thought since I was alone with one opponent, slowplaying was the best strategy to get more into the pot.

Anyone play it differently?

Bet the damn flop, if he's got JJ-KK he's only going to do the betting for you once, if he has an Ace he'll raise you and then you can get cute and wait until the turn.

Nice transcription of the hand since you don't have a converter btw.

Thanks for your advice everyone. The table is 10-handed MrWookie.

I probably could have gotten a hella lot more from him if I had bet the flop. I will do so for now on.

It's just a bet or two in a relatively rare situation. Might as well just bet, and worry about the other decisions.

I check-raise this flop like 100% of the time. I expect Villain to continuation bet >95%.

its been said, but just lead the flop. he wont think you have middle set when you lead out.

A flop check-raise - great idea, miles! Why didn't anyone else think of that that everybody didn't ignore?

FWIW I completely agree with miles' post. And I'm check-raising any ace here, as well as a bunch of lower pairs. I don't expect villain to say OMG HE HAS A SET BEACUASE HE CHECKRAISED FOLD FOLD FOLD.

This from Redd is the crux of this debate.

This hand depends sooo much more on how you play other hands in the same situation than it does on how you play this hand in isolation.

How many players at the table. I may 3bet preflop. Bet the flop, bet the turn. Once he checks that flop behind, and given that river action, he has either AA, AK, or A9. I go a couple more bets on the river.
