Final Pot: $20.25

I raised the flop because I'm ahead of most hands in villains range.
What do you think about the turnbet? Is it ok, or should I take a free card?
On the turn I think i'm only ~30% to win I think. I made the bet because I thought I could pick up the pot maybe.
But if I don't hit the river, It cost me a lot of money. So I don't know if I played this correctly.
On the river I give up.

i'd take the free card on the turn. villain looks like a station, so he isn't too likely to go away after calling the flop oop.

I agree -- he probably has a J and he is not folding if a nuke dropped.

yeah I think you guys are right. Can't bet this guy out of the pot. I just got a bit too excited with the draw.

It's possible Villain has a draw of his own (98, diamonds, or gutshot), but I think trying to push him off of it after your flop raise gets called is too big of an investment, given that he'll often have a made hand he's going to show down and he won't fold a good draw unless you fire on the turn and the river, which would be a spew.
