Default ($16t) 99 lvl1 Float it or fold it.

Early no reads..

On this flop are you floating or folding... note if there was a J+ on the flop I'd fold this hand.

I also feel if a J+, or a diamond come on the turn I'm folding to a bet, so is it worth calling the flop.

UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1480)

I sometimes call here (or sometimes fold)... and re-evaluate on the turn, but i'm not liking the heavy draw board. Since he raised PF he's prolly on the come. You have position on him, just fire out when he checks and take it down.

I like the call reevaluate on the turn line.

Although I have been very aggressive postflop in spots like this (i.e raising), the pot is now starting to get big and you want to think about pot control. My first thought is, why would he play JJ+ this way on a flushy board with a double card giving Hero almost 3 to 1 immediate odds to call and catch something to beat him (why I raise spots like this). However, if villain calls your flop raise (and it would have to be a decent amount at that), playing the turn is going to suck unless you catch one of the other two case nines. As far as a set of 10s for a boat, I think villain is costing himself some value by betting, I like checking in his spot better so I doubt very seriously he has that. Just call and keep pot as small as possible. Other than folding on the flop, this is the least you'll lose with them.
