Wow, look at this amazing flop for my hand in such a huge multiway pot! Then someone lead out, I was loving it and imaging scooping up a stack or two, if theres 99 or a big overpair out i'm looking so great! Then that turn completely squashed my action and I got nothing.

Man that couldve been huge. I mightve min raised the flop to make sure it got even bigger. Anyone with a flush draw will call for another $5 with the pot that big. Someone might even come back over the top.

Yeah, a small raise from late position couldn't have hurt. I'm really suprised no one had a 9 there. I actually would have put in a half-pot bet on the turn. If someone's hand gets their on the river they aren't going to call a bet, but if someone has a 9 they are certainly going to stay with you until the end so it only makes sense to bet and let them think they are trapping you with the sucker boat.

I figured if someone had a 9 it was going all in on the river so there was no need to force out an overpair (KK, QQ, JJ) that might catch the "nut" boat on the river

Just me happy this wasnt on party and u got it all in only to find 99.

Man, Why couldn't just one person have that damn 9???

I know! doesnt it blow?
