Set of 9's

[ChipsAhoya]

Did I get the most money possible out of this? Everyone kept raising and I didn't want anybody to fold...

Game was $3/$6 Hold 'Em on Pokerroom.

Seat 1: ($256 in chips)
Seat 2: ($124 in chips)
Seat 3: ($135 in chips)
Seat 4: ($126 in chips)
Seat 5: ($168 in chips)
Seat 6: ($149 in chips)
Seat 7: ChipsAhoya [ 9C,9H ] ($120 in chips)
Seat 8: ($90 in chips)
Seat 9: ($235 in chips)


PRE-FLOP
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG +2 calls $3, MP1 calls $3, ChipsAhoya bets $6, CO folds, Button bets $9, SB calls $8, BB folds, UTG calls $6, UTG+2 $6, ChipsAhoya calls $3.

Does anyone cap the family pot here? I didn't, figuring I wanted to check-raise the pre-flop raiser if I hit my 9...


FLOP [board cards JC,9S,3D ]
SB checks, UTG+2 bets $3, MP1 calls $3, ChipsAhoya calls $3, Button calls $3, SB folds.

I just called here since the board wasn't scary, hoping the button would raise, but they didn't.


TURN [board cards JC,9S,3D,JD ]
UTG+2 bets $6, MP1 bets $12, ChipsAhoya calls $12, Button folds, UTG+2 calls $6.

I didn't raise here because I figured I was ahead of any Jack and didn't want UTG +2 to fold.


RIVER [board cards JC,9S,3D,JD,10C ]
UTG+2 bets $6, MP1 calls $6, ChipsAhoya bets $12, UTG+2 calls $6, MP1 calls $6.

I was slightly afraid of JT here, but I still got my raise in for the extra bets.


SHOWDOWN in white:

<font color="white"> ChipsAhoya shows ( 9C,9H )
UTG+2 shows cards ( KD,JH )
MP1 shows cards ( JS,7S )
ChipsAhoya wins $129. </font>


I was just wondering if there was any way I could have played this better or if I did everything right...

Thanks!

i would raise the turn every time, looking to get excessive action from a Jack, and possibly a come along for the ride straight draw.

you basically got "rivered" because of the scare card, you see?

cheers!

Played fine pre flop.

Raise the flop when this many players are in. J9 is connected enough to discourage a slowplay and you will get action from overpairs and top pair.

Raise the turn. It appears you are up against trip jacks so you should raise for value. AJ-TJ or less may cap your reraise.

Good river raise, but I think you lost a lot of value by waiting till the river to raise.

Don't slowplay. Period. Raise at every opportunity. It doesn't matter if you're facing everyone with two cold, they'll call, and they'll give you crazy action because you can't possibly have a set of 9s.

i dont think i would ever cap PF with 99, and i would def raise the turn, because you are going to get a ton of action from a jack.

I know others hate the flop slowplay, but I don't mind it as I do it all the time. You need to reraise the turn because any jack will payoff big for you.

Okay, I was wondering if I should raise the turn, I guess everybody would have called and folded that did anyway...

Thanks for the advice.
