Game is $2/$100 spread limit ($1/$2 blinds, $100 max bets, but can reraise as many times as you want). Hero is within first orbit. So far hero has folded his BB to a MP 6x raise, folded SB to a EP 5x raise, folded rest of hands. No reads on opponents, no history with anyone.

UTG limps with $450 behind, UTG+1/+2 limps with $200+ stacks, MP villain limps has me covered, folds around to HJ who limps with $200 behind. Hero is in cutoff with A9 with $297 behind. Hero raises to $18. Folds around to MP/HJ calls. Pot is $63.

Flop 104K. Checks around to Hero who bets $48. MP calls, HJ folds.

Turn J. MP checks, Hero checks.

River 2. MP checks, Hero checks.

How do you think I played this hand?

Not a fan of 9x ing it with A9 preflop. i'd rather you bet smaller on flop. Turn and River are fine without a read on villain.

Well played.

#1 Getting some people off top pair at 1-2 sometimes requires a crowbard.
#2 Not a good texture to triple barrel on.
#3 Never bet/check/bet as a bluff unless you have some serious history with the person who has seen you do it for value a ton.

Sometimes we just have to let it go. Sucks if you lost to JQ, Jx, or 10x, but this runout is great for a free card on the turn.
I'd be bet/check/betting here with KQ and AK (with no reads)

I think the preflop play is the only real mistake here and that isn't really a bad one. A9s isn't a good hand to raise over several limpers because a lot of the hands that will call have you dominated. Your not often going to get 4 limpers (including two EP limpers) to all fold. With more information about table I might squeeze with it occasionally, but new to table it's just too weak.

After that it looks OK. With the nut flush draw betting this flop against two villains is fine, though the bet is a little too big. $50 is probably just as good here and save you a little money when you get called. When that gets called and you get a fairly ugly turn card which gives you some more outs and are close to pot committed against villain, checking behind is best. However, once you do that you have to mostly give up on river. Villain probably doesn't have much but they are likely going to bluff catch any bet you make.

Looks fine. Betting the flop 3 ways is marginal. That board hits a lot of limp calling ranges and you have a draw to the nuts. Other than that barreling turn is dangerous as the j just hit a lot of hands and you picked up 3 new outs. Dont want to get c/r off the hand. A river bet looks fos and you won't fold out much that you can't already beat.

I think the raise pre-flop is fine from that position and the bet on the flop is okay too.

I would have double barreled on the turn and based on my reads I might even tripple barrel the river. I'm b/f on both streets. If he doesn't hesitate to call the turn bet I'm most likely giving up.

I liked the way it was played too though.
