I guess my question here is: are you ever laying down the set of 9's in that spot?
[x] flopped top set
[x] have an effective SPR of 5
[x] playing against an aggro who's not super deep
[] I likely lay this down
I think you should actually bet bigger on the flop and just plan to commit on any non club turn.
If you lead the flop for something more along the lines of $30, and they both call, there is $125 in the pot on the turn, and you can make a bet of closer to $75 on the turn. He shoves, you call, you're committed. And the times that he has middle set, you get all his money. The times that he flopped a flush, well, you'll suck out 20% of the time. The times that he turned the second nut flush draw + a pair, you're way ahead.
Your sizing is weak, and it screams 'Raise me, I don't like my hand that much'. You bet ~1/2 the pot on the flop, and then ~1/2 the pot on the turn also on a very scard connected board. Seems like the line someone with an overpair would take. Right up including the part where you fold the turn.
If you had AsAc here would you bet more or less on the flop and the turn? And why would you do as such? Also, would you lay that hand down on the turn to the shove? Why or why not? Just food for thought.
