Re: did i play this poorly?
I agree with most of the sentiments here. The only thing you really fear is 9,T (4,5 too, I guess). Even in that scenario, you still have lots of outs to the end when he/she invariably shoves. The range of hands people will call your bet or re-pop you is pretty big and with 7 others in the hand you’ve got to figure someone will come along for the ride as an underdog. It wouldn’t surprise me if someone with JJ or TT who didn’t raise it up pre-flop decided to shove now with top pair hoping to shut out any draws (sounds silly, I know, but nothing shocks me anymore, especially in B&M).
Not sure what your image was and if that’s why nobody played back at you, but I think you have to bet this flop from your position.
BTW, don’t you love B&M games? UTG raises 6x the BB and gets 7 callers. Sweet.
