good info erpel...thanks...
I did say in post that i stopped plan 1 and went to plan 2 which was a check raise.

And you are right about ALL HANDS. I think this is a definite leak in my game right now. Putting an opponent on hands that i can beat rather than ALL hands he might have.

The pot was 39 cents so i bet 50 cents.

Your number six is very good. Just because he "did what i expected" doesn't necessarily mean what i wanted it to mean.

I fully understand that i should have folded pre on this hand but i wanted to see if my observations were correct. Had the flop been anything lower than a 9 my original read would probably have worked. Turns out the guy had J9. Dang if i know why he was raising utg+1 with that hand but i noted it and will learn..
