Default [200nl] Worst Overpair, how\'s this line

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $217
UTG+1: $212.25
CO: $438.22
Button: $220
Hero: $201
BB: $401.05

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $7</font>, 2 folds, Hero calls, BB calls.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($21, 3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 bets $16</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $42</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls.

Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($121, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks.

River: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($121, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $35</font>

River is a blocker/thin value bet, I plan on folding to a raise. I figure to get called by any nine, even by some hands that beats me since his check looks like he got afraid of the turn card. I don't have any specific read on the guy yet though.

I think a blocker should always contain some value. I'm unable to locate the value though.

I 3-bet this a lot pre-flop.

Turbo-muck the flop after BB raises.

Check-raise into 2 players = his range has you crushed. At best you're up against a big draw.

3 bet preflop.

Flop you need to fold to the raise from BB. We are up against either a big draw or a big hand. Either way its time to get out of dodge.

Would anyone consider c/ring the flop?

I don't like the idea especially with BB between us and pfr. I'd just call and look to take it down on a safe turn.

Why? Against a CO/button raise then I would, but against an UTG raise I would just call.

I think c/r the flop has more cons than pros. We're out of position and we're kind of obliged to lead into a turn where a lot of cards will scare us.
