I'd fold to the flop bet.. any hand you make is going to be really transparent, and you tie with anyone else with a T. I really don't like the raise on the turn. If I called the flop I'd just call there and see what he does on the river.

[Triggerle]

Forgot the reads. All players were rather loose and passive as indicated by the 5-handed pot we are seeing.

I raise the flop, as played I value shove river.

editf I often raise

Do you realize that we are about half split and half lose to another 9? What hands would give us value here?

[dimeetrees]

I raise preflop to isolate, call flop, raise 3x his bet on turn, valuebet river if he checks.

fiiiiine

[Triggerle]

Why do we want to isolate pf after 2 limpers with a very marginal HU hand? (With possibly more than one villian coming along anyway.)

This is a hand that has multiway pot value for its straight possibilities and the occasional trips/2pair.

Hands like QJ and JT seem entirely possible (along with a stubborn J8), although I don't have a strong opinion either way on what's best on the river.

I'm not really that quick to think Villain has a 9, though. The only strong evidence for that is the turn call.

The whole thing basically looks okay to me.

Preflop is fine. The flop call may be slightly loose, but I think it's all right. The turn raise looks okay (although it is unfortunate if BB happens to have QT/T7). I'm not sure what's best on the river.
