Default Re: playing crap on the button

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero (t1500)
SB (t1500)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
CO (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, 6.
UTG calls t20, MP1 calls t20, [color=#666666]2 folds</font>, Hero calls t20, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t100) 6, 4, J [color=#0000FF](5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, [color=#CC3333]UTG bets t40</font>, MP1 folds, Hero calls t40, SB folds, BB folds.

Turn: (t180) 9 [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
[color=#CC3333]UTG bets t40</font>, [color=#CC3333]Hero raises to t160</font>, UTG calls t120.

After his bet, the pot was 220 and I wanted to raise somewhat less than normal to induce his weaker hands to call (and maybe call another bet on the river), but still enough that calling with a flush draw is unprofitable. Also I didnt want him to go away because I was pretty sure he was quite weak, but might bluff some more on the river if he thinks my hand is worse than it is. 200 seems fine, but 2xx looks a lot bigger than 1xx [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

River: (t500) 6 [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
UTG checks, [color=#CC3333]Hero ?? </font>

We hit the jackpot, but unfortunately our opponent doesnt donk into us.

do you pick a small bet (around 150) or big bet (400-600) or all-in, and why?
