Default I fear a waterfall ahead on the river.

Poker Stars 0.05/0.10 Hold'em

PREFLOP: Hero is UTG with Jh Jd
Hero raises, 2 fold (including 1 sb forced), M1 calls, M2 calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls

FLOP: (15 sb) 9h 9s 7c (7 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero calls, 1 fold, M2 calls, 1 fold, Button calls, SB folds.

TURN (9.5 bb) 9d (4 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, M2 calls, Button calls

RIVER (13.5 bb) Qc (4 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, 2 fold

FINAL POT: 15.5 bb

I became worried on the flop as BB hadn't raised preflop so I suspected trips. A lot of players on these limits would slow play but BB bets. He bets the turn. He probobly guesses I've got a full house but doesn't try a check raise. The river doen't help and I call his bet. Did I play this hand correctly? Did BB play his hand correctly?

Preflop: Standard

Flop: raise, your opponent could be betting a 7 here. You want to make any A/K/Q either fold or pay to draw.

Turn: Honestly this is a wonderful card. It make it even more likely that BB has a 7 rather than a 9. I'm still not sure about the call, because your hand is still vulnerable to overcards.

River: Now the river brought an overcard. I still think the BB has a 9s fll of 7s most of the time, but someone behind you could have a Q and won't be folding it. I think that a call is right here hoping for the overcalls. I don't see many worse hands calling your raise here, and better hands will certainly either call or raise.

Raise flop, raise turn if he leads again.

I don't really mind the flop call here, but you should be doing so with the intention of raising a good turn card. The main consideration in this hand is trying to give a gutshot bad odds to draw. You have to raise the turn.

preflop: good

flop: raise. It's a nice board. You have an overpair, and because the board is paired, it is less likely for the board to have hir ur opponents. Play this hand hard and it won't be so hard to tell where you stand.

Turn: A very nice card. raise. If it's re-raised, I'd check down

River: Gah, a overcard. It is unlikely that anyone would still hold a Queen at this point, but I still don't like it. I'd bet/call (this is what I'm posting, I'd prob actually play it as check/call cause I'm passive like that)

I dunno if BB played it correctly. If he had a single 9, yes. If he had a 7, yes except the river...well..even the river I guess...

Raise every street. Maybe not the river. But the hand would play differently if you adopted the standard line. You can't invite lots of calls when you're a big favorite and you can be easily outdrawn.
