This was a $1-$2 NL holdem live table game with 7 players. I'm in the cutoff. One player folds and two limp in front of me. I have 99 and I raise to $8. The button, SB, BB, and two limpers all call. The pot is $56. The flop is 9TK rainbow. It's checked to me. I don't think KK is likely. TT maybe. QJ is what I'm most worried about, but if someone has it, I still have 7 outs. I don't want anyone drawing to a gut shot. I bet $30. It's folded to the player to my right who raises all-in to $114. I've only been at the table for two orbits, so I don't have a real good read on the player. I call with my last $104. He has QJ and the turn and river don't improve me. Should I have checked the flop, and should I have called the raise?

You should have bet bigger preflop ~$14.

You should have bet bigger on the flop.

And you should have never even considered folding.

I wouldn't fold, especially if the board pairs... The only thing I could think of is betting bigger preflop to muscle out some players. Hard situation but a set on the flop is hard to let go, if you think he has it don't call just because its a good hand. If your beat your beat

I play live a couple times a month. This was last weekend at Wheeling Island.

Your preflop raise size seemed amazingly small for a live player. Most live players would limp along or raise BIG.

$15-$25 is standard in this spot at $1-$2 games.

As has been said, raise preflop and give no thought to folding this flop

Thanks for all of the feedback. I immediately wished I had raised more after getting 5 callers. Though some of the amounts suggested are surprising. The most typical raise preflop in this $1-$2 game has been $8 or $10, occasionally $12 - $15, and rarely more than that unless it's a re-raise. Maybe we are all bad players.
