Re: NL100: How do I get more value?

if you had raised the flop he would've folded there putting you on a 9 so you played fine

Meh, I think that by raising the flop here to an obersvant opponent our hand looks less like a 9. The board is relativly dry, so our flop call and then turn raise, looks much more like a 9, then a flop raise in this siatuation. Since we are not very likely to be raising a 9 on such a dry board, and they probably expect us to slowplay, so I think we get a lot of calls on the flop w/ a raise.
A flop raise makes our hand range look like 78, Ahi (total bluff), and some random pocketpairs. And, a think a flop raise is getting called by a very similar range to the what the opponent is likley going to be putting us on.
Plus, in a situation where we do not know much about our oppoentns hand range, it would really suck for a K Q or A to fall on the turn and potentially kill our action from weaker pocketpairs.
Get some money in now, where he is more likley to make bad calls.
