Probably an easy spot... but I'd still like to hear some thoughts

    I went ahead and just folded this hand... But my question is should I be checking this flop? and if i should bet the flop, should I be double barreling? Thanks for any input!

    usually I would check call turn but guy bets pot so think I am folding, the 9 is not the greatest turn either. I don't think checking turn is bad.

    I am always c-betting that flop.

    I like your line because its early on in the tourney. The c-bet is standard, even with the one overcard, but once the 9h falls you have to shut it down. If the turn was a brick (2-7) then maybe I try to double barrel but I think I still check-fold this turn.

    My answer is different if this is later on in the tourney.

    u should have just late reg'd and not got urself in this spot :-)

    i am prob 50/50 cbetting or check/calling for pot control on flop. there will be a ton of hands that call ur cbet i think, hands that beat u and hands u beat will call, so it puts u in tough turn spot.

    i do think if i decide to cbet, i'm also betting turn a high % of time.

    u prob played it fine tho and its just a marginal spot, that kinda sucks.
