Ugly turn card. How do you play?

[DocHollyday]

Yesterday at my local 20$/40$ limit game. A couple of loose calling stations, but also two or three tight players, who play pretty good (in my eyes at least).

Ok, here's the hand: I get 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] under the gun, and this time I limp (sometimes I will raise that hand).

One player in late mp raises, SB call, BB calls, I call.

Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

SB checks, BB checks, I check, MP bets, SB fold, BB calls, I call.

Turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Damn, now I could be in trouble, but heck it's the case five, BB checks, I check, MP bets, BB calls, and I check-raise. MP folds, BB folds.

I'm not very unpleased, with how I played it, I'm just wondering, how you guys played my hand. Another flat call at the turn, and then check-raise the river? All comments appreciated!

why dont you raise the flop ?

This is called slowplaying, with the intention of raising your oponnents on later, more expensive streets. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's pretending weakness with a monster!

I think the play is to call on the turn and bet out on the river if the BB checks.

Damn, now I could be in trouble...

The turn is NOT a scare card.

You can't think like that. You're way way way ahead of most of the possible hands you're against. You played it well.
