number two, don't open limp nines. they are strong enough to raise from everywhere, unless you are at a particularly tough table, in which case change tables.

I don't understand what the turn bet is attempting to accomplish. It's not really a large enough value bet, and you don't really want to be bluffing top set. I would imagine betting more or checking behind are both better than this size bet. If you think opp has the ability to play back at weakness, then push over and take a chance that that is what he is doing. otherwise, push over and hope you are either against a smaller set/2 pr or that you fill up on the river. either way, don't fold sets vs. unknowns.

1) Limping behind one limper with almost anything is bad. Raise SCs, PPs etc...
In this case, just fold preflop.

2) I don't see why you are limping 99 UTG+1. As played, call the turn.
