ahnuld,

I don't understand your check. If you're going for check-raise, doesn't that mean he should have a good hand to bet due to short stack? Surely JT and [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]'s would check behind and take the free card. Shouldn't you just lead again instead of trying to CR K7/K9/Q9 off his hand? Isn't that a better way to get paid off?

I give up on pots too much imo and sometimes I like to make CRes on turns like this to keep people from running me out of pots on the turn. Checking the turn here isnt great I admit, but if he bets I can call and lead river or I can make a CR allin. The pots pretty big by the turn so any bet I make gets a fold from alot of hands I think he has here. If he commits alot of his stack with a strong K Iits hard to laydown for the extra 400 left. or if he makes a kinda bluff with a Q he would have folded that turn my turn lead anyways. Or he could bet a draw and then have to call. But yeah, leading is probably best in this spot.
