My table image is getting a little LAggy.
BB plays too many hands and is certainly a donater, but otherwise my read is still developing.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Fnord is MP2 with 9, K.
UTG calls, 2 folds, Fnord raises, 1 fold, CO calls, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 4, 9, J (4 players)
BB bets, UTG calls, Fnord raises, CO folds, BB calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (7.25 BB) J (3 players)
BB bets, UTG folds, Fnord folds.

Final Pot: 8.25 BB

Im not sure Id play this hand. Youve got a limper in front and 5 people still to act behind you -- one of which is a loose donator with a wide range of playable hands. You got two cold callers with a pretty marginal hand. Probably not the table to be doing this on

I think this is a pretty clear 'fold preflop'. That said, if you were for some reason dying to play it, playing it for a raise is probably correct.

Flop and turn play was perfect
<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

that J is a bad turn card, good fold
take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

I don't understand why you didn't limp. It's a speculative hand with a small chance of holding up when you hit one of your cards.

In 15c/30c I think I'd call the turn because a lot of the time BB would have a nine and a worse kicker (unless he's a loose passive that is... in which case he probably has trips)

Limping in this spot is horrible. My primary plan here is to win without showing down.
