OESD & Trip 9s - Raise, Call, or Fold?

[TomBrooks]

No reads. I think I should have checked this flop, but I think I bet out reflexively because I've been playing almost all 6max for a while and I would bet out in 6max because the pair of nines is more likely to be the best hand at the moment. That being said ...

How would you play this postflop?

I think the flop bet is OK. I think you are ahead more than 50% of the time against a T overcard with 3 opponents. I play it the same.

The river is a nightmare. I think I'd fold it because it's probably going to get raised again behind you, but I'm really not sure what hands you are up against here.

Why didn't you bet the turn? Also, I don't know whether to fold or call the flop because I suspect someone else might also have a jack. Calling is probably right though. That said, I think the river is an easy fold. Someone flopped the straight and/or someone boated up on the turn.

I like your flop bet. I'll bet a fairly high pocket pair with one overcard against 3 loose players. I don't know if that's right or even a good parallel since the top card was a ten, not a king or something in an unraised pot.

When you fold the river, I like the whole hand.

I think I would bet the turn and if no one slowed down probably fold depending on the pot odds.

Im 3betting the river.

I like a flop fold here. You only paid half a bet to see the flop, and you may already be behind to QJ. Also, a pair of nines being the best hand on the flop is an assumption.

Does no one else dislike completing with an unsuited middle gap-connected pair of cards?

I call if suited, or JT.
