Default Re: 10nl, 6max: J9s pre flop raise; too loose?

preflop is OK, it depends a lot on how tight you think the two guys are behind you and how often they'll call your pf raises. Also if they do call the pfr how often do they call a flop CB? If it's often then don't raise this preflop, if it's rarely raise all day and inbetween the two use some judgement.

flop is OK.

I bet a little less on the turn I think ~$1.70 is goot.
Once he raises you, turbo fold. He has an overpair or a set here or maybe 56 for 2pairs - your TP is toast.

We want to charge the fd's on the turn - we want to give him the chance to fold - we want to keep the pot small and we want him to tip off his hand to us. If we check behind on the turn we keep the pot small but we gain no useful info and might be faced with a river bet that is because he thinks we are weak rather than cos he has a hand. Putting us to a tougher decision - especially if a flush hits.
