econ_tim . . . ?

I guess this is a check, but if it goes check, bet, call, call, I think I might raise since someone will likely call with a hand worse than a straight.

I probably just check/call. The fact that, when you win, you are very likely to split this pot, seems to make the C/R less profitable of a play when you have the best of it, and you will lose more when you have the worst of it (J-10, K-J, Q-J).

When it's _only_ a 3way split and one guy has just a 9 (or worse), you gain 1/3rd of a bet.

When someone fills up on the river, you lose two full bets, since im assuming you're calling a 3bet.

Yeah. The split pot makes raising so much less desirable.

I'm only raising if it is one bet when it gets back to me. Under these circumstances, I can be pretty sure that no one has filled up, unless they are going for the crazy call/raise the river line. And I'll take an extra 1/3 BB any day.

I don't like any raise on the river, I can't see anyone calling it who cant beat you or tie you. Just check/call it.

Yes. And I'd say if the board hadn't paired, I would too. Not here though.

WIth that much action on the turn there is a good chance someone filled up on the river. Raising seems pretty bad here, there isn't much you're beating. Whoever is in this hand with a 9 should be beaten with a stick.
