B3 ($9.02)
B2 ($5.02)
B1 ($2.66)
BN ($0.34)
SB ($3.97)
Hero ($0.80)
B4 ($2.96)

BN is the button.

Precards:
SB posts the small blind $0.01, Hero posts the big blind $0.02.

Preflop: Hero is dealt 9 Q (7 active)
B4 folds, B3 calls $0.02, B2 calls $0.02, B1 calls $0.02, BN folds, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks.

Flop: 5 9 J ($0.10, 5 active)
SB checks, Hero checks, B3 checks, B2 checks, B1 checks.

Turn: 5 9 J 8 ($0.10, 5 active)
SB checks, Hero checks, B3 checks, B2 checks, B1 checks.

River: 5 9 J 8 7 ($0.10, 5 active)
SB checks, Hero checks, B3 checks, B2 checks, B1 checks.

My thinking on the flop is with that many folks 2nd pair is likely no good and i didn't wannna get raised. Perhaps i could of bet the turn after it was checked to me?
