Certainly Looks like the guy is on the draw and that 9 on the board scared me. But i bet at it anyway, would a better play have been to check and call a medium sized bet?

Also i dont think i like my flop bet.. too small

I think it's fine if you call. I won't laydown top-two to that raise at this level. I cry if he flips over a set or JT.

Besides, you pretty much commited yourself to the pot. I'm not saying you shouldnt, im just saying that you have to call now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
