    I'm raising this preflop, unless I have a read i fold the flop. I go broke once that turn hits.

    It seems to me that there's two ways you can play your pocket nines:

    1. There are five ranks of overcards that could appear, pair someone, and crush us utterly. Limp and hope to flop a set. If you miss, check-fold.
    2. It's a pocket pair (not a little one either!) at a short table. Quite possibly the best hand out there. Plus, we have first-in vigorish! Play aggressively.

    It seems you took approach #1 preflop and switched to approach #2 after the flop. Doesn't work out very well.

    I would have busted here too but:
    1) raise preflop, at least 4X.
    2) If he still bets the flop, I would put in a decent sized reraise to see where you stand, if he just calls, I would shut down for the rest of the hand, but given that turn I would have woken up. Not much you can do there.

    I only agree with the PFR because it's 6-handed.

    Been said before but 5 handed that is an open raise for sure.
