My set of 9's check raises the flop......you like???

Well, with the flush draw on board, and two other players, i hated to see a diamond hit the board on the turn. Was this play correct, or should i have risked a diamond to extract another round of betting from villains??

I like what you are thinking but you need to consider stack sizes here.

Realistically if Btn has the FD he's calling the c/r regardless. So you can essentially consider yourself HU vs CO. So I would change my play based on my read of CO.

[HoldenFoldem]

Good point about short stack being of importance.. One consideration i didn't mention though, is that I must check to CO to let him "lead" again on turn, and if he has the draw, he probably will give himself a free card..... thoughts?
