You think hes raising pre with the 9s at 10NL?

Just No....

That board was clearly just too scary for whatever he had. I dont think you were ever going to make money here.

In this situation I think checking is ok. You will still get plenty of value from sets and the straight/flush and you also possibly gain a cbet.

You do have to consider who you are up against though. Plenty of people will call a big bet with a straight/ set (pair + draw) here but will check it if they hold one themselves. If you are up against one of these more passive players then its probably better to just bet bet bet. Either way you arent getting paid in this hand.
