Me $2,100
Player 2 $1,000 Pretty tight player, not afraid to take a stab and throw chips in
Player 3 $1,400 Good player I have a history against, likes to come after me since he knows he's down lifetime to me by quite a bit. Recently made a final table at a WSOP event this year.
I get

[Kh] on the button. There are three limpers so I make it $20 to go and Player 2 and Player 3 call. $70 in the pot.
Flop is

[9d][6s]
Player 2 bets $35, Player 3 call and I raise $100 on top.
Player 2 folds and Player 3 calls. Pot is at $340
Turn is
![[9h]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/9h.gif "The Nine of Hearts")
Player 3 bets $200. I think for a bit. I know I'm up big for the night, I'm leaving soon and i wonder if I should just let this go? But then Player 3 could be on a draw or could be making a bet to represent a 9 and try to bluff me out. I tell myself not to play weak just because I'm leaving soon and I don't want anyone to believe I can be pushed off of a strong hand. I raise $300 on top.
Player 3 stews for a moment and then pushes the rest of his chips. I think and I fold. He turned over one card showing a
![[9s]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/9s.gif "The Nine of Spades")
. He paid me a nice compliment later saying if it had been anyone else he knows he could have had their whole stack and was even stewing a bit that he hadn't gotten mine since my chips are a special prize to him 
.
The question is of course, could I have saved myself the $500 after the turn hit? He could have had 99, or K9 or 69 and I might have already been beat on the flop. In the end I think I played it well, I'm not unhappy with how I did, but just want to analyze and see if I can do better in the future.
Thanks,
