Default 2/4 - 99 OOP - Something a little different

UTG+1 seems like a solid postflop player, 14/8/4 in a small sample of only 70 hands. MP1 is a relative unknown.

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I think a turn raise is best here. If he reraises, call down and check the river where it would be best to check/call.

If he only calls a turn raise, lead out. If he raises the river, call down.

Can you explain the line you took and why please?

Is it a simple case of WA/WB?

Is the river bet hoping to fold a T?

Interesting one.

Given the turn play the river bet is good. The turn is close but I would play it the same. You're pretty likely to be ahead of MP1 (50%+). You're maybe 35-40% against UTG's range (9 combo's KTs/QTs/JTs, 4 combos of 77/55, and 2 combos of A5s you lose to and a few spade combos, 3 A7s combos, and 6 combos of 88 and maybe 66 is in there that you're ahead of). He may fold a weak T if you raise. But that seems unlikely and with MP1 calling along you're hand is probably still worth a call but I don't think your hand is strong enough for anything else. Check/folding the turn is probably not giving up a lot either. But I think it's worth it to continue. So I'd play it the same.

No, it's for value whenever his hand is best. If he checks most better hands will bet but some worse hands that will call a bet will check through if given the chance. IF UTG missed a draw he'll likely give up on the river as well and then hero misses value from MP if he doesn't bet it.

"wow" as in putting in 3 BB's on the turn here is really bad. Calling a river raise especially after he c/raises the turn is really bad. Raising the turn seems bad to me as well considering he isn't good that often really and when he is his opponents likely have a combined 15+ outs.

I 3-bet preflop as you would like this to be as shorthanded as possible. BB will almost certainly fold if you 3-bet and the 14/8 UTG1 will also likely fold a fair share of his range to a 3-bet.

As for the postflop play I actually don't see any other way to really play this after UTG1 donks the flop. Donking the turn might be best, but your line seems fine although I think this is a case that the c/c, c/c, bet/fold is best.
