I was playing NL .50/$1 ring game. I was UTG and picked up pocket 9's. I called the $1 blind which is typical for me because I try to see the flop cheap to see if I can catch the set when I have lower and middle pocket pairs. The player behind me raised to $2 and 3 others called. I didn't like the idea of of being in early position and 1 of 5 in the pot with only 9's so I raised the pot $10 thinking I might buy it and at the very least get 2 or 3 of the others to fold. In this case they all folded but I was wondering was this a very good play?
