Hi guys, not been playing much poker recently because of exams. Feeling a bit out of touch so I'd like to know your take on how I played this hand. No reads on any of the opponents, played 20 or so hands and seen nothing extraordinary. All quite tight and very little raising.

normally i would like the way you played the hand, though if table is "quite tight" i would consider possibly folding preflop given your position. and the river *could* be a check though i suspect even against tight opponents, betting may still be correct as it doesn't seem like you have any reason to believe you are beat.

without reads I can only repeat the old maxim "aggression wins pots" I'm thinking someone in the gaggle, though, is a loose passive calling station and had a T.

After they all called on the turn, I would have checked behind on the river....You're going to see a better 9 or a T here a lot....they don't all have busted straight draws.
