Rhound... you are completely correct though. Had his stack been larger, a bet seems foolhardy. I will def. keep that in mind for the future. Learn something new everyday at BTP

But, assuming your situation...I like the value bet reasoning and actually I agree with it about 80% of the time...but, I don't think I have the gumption to make that play yet unless I feel I know what my opponent has, and that isn't often enough.
But, I say good value bet here...

me - sly, fun and charming for the ladies
stacks- me $100 him $70
onto the hand!
I'm dealt
![[9h]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/9h.gif "The Nine of Hearts")
[9s] in the cutoff. UTG limps as does one other. I decide to raise to possibly make it heads up or to at least get the blinds out. I raise to $5. Only UTG calls.FLOP pot $12.50
![[5c]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/5c.gif "The Five of Clubs")
[Th][6h]Not a bad flop for pocket 9's. UTG checks, I bet $10 (my standard on this size pot on the flop.) UTG calls. With this call, he could have anything from pocket JJ, K10o or a flush draw or a hand I'm beating. Still, I don't like the call very much.
TURN pot $32.50
[Th][6h][9c]yay for kennyg, trips it is! UTG checks again, I fire $20 in the $32.50.
RIVER pot $72.50
[Th][6h][9c][8d]No flush possible but a 4 to the straight is out if holding the 7..also QJ would give a straight. UTG checks once more. I think as long as is allowed...and end up value betting another $20. UTG calls and mucks.
My brother, though he didn't see the hand..said this was a bad play on the rive after I told him about it. I disagree...I thought it was well thought out and perfectly played. On the river I decided he had a pair of tens with an Ace or king kicke or something like JJ. I just couldn't put this guy on a 7 from UTG with the way the hand went. If he had the 7...he would bet on the river for value...not look for a check raise!
I have more explanations and reasoning but I'm getting tired. Just wondering if you guys would bet this river or not....or if you think it should be value bet the way I did. Look foward to hearing your opinions!
BTW: he had JJ.
