NL100; I played nines like a little girl...

UTG is unknown and new to the table. BB is 22/12/2 through 41 hands. Should I continue here, and should I have played this hand more aggressively?

Raise?

You could argue a raise pre-flop. As played, on the flop you have to be more aggressive. I'm not sure whether check-raising or leading is a better idea (I'd like more input on this) but check-calling is too weak.

As played, on the turn I like a check-raise but calling him down isn't that bad either.

usually c/r flop (like this much better than leading..only like leading if villain is nuts and you play to b/3b)

as played, i call turn and re-evaluate on the river
