After the turn bet you only have 35$ left. I'm pretty sure you have to call at that point and hope for the 9 at the end.

Calling was automatic, just wondering about the play up to then. In retrospect, the flop bet might of been weak. When the blank fell on the turn, I was essentially going allin, the other $35 was relatively meaningless in terms of his decision.The question's arePreflop raise ok?flop bet appropriate?Should I have fired the 2nd bullet on the turn?By the way, I am not saying I lost this pot. Just want everyones opinion of the play. I play a lot of NL tournies, and some cash games. I am just trying to feel my way around the cash game. I tend to play very tight in tournaments, I am not sure how much to loosen up in a cash game.In this hand I flopped a broadway straight, 2nd nut flush draw and open ended straight flush draw. I am only really completely dead to A 9 , that is so remote as to not even be a possibility. Against any other holding I am either ahead or have redraws.
