You flopped trips not a set. A set is when you have a pp and that card flops

As far as the hand.

Fold preflop.

Since you called preflop with that hand you played it fine.

Seriously, fold pre-flop. Even in a loose-passive pre-flop game, that's a terrible spot to be playing T9o.

On the flop, a check isn't terrible (since you have so many to act behind you)...but I'd probably go ahead and bet it (as the pot is very multiway and the board is draw heavy). You really don't need to be sneaky at this level. People are actually less likely to put you on trips if you bet right out. But yeah, the check-raise isn't a bad play. Line's fine from there.

It's convenient that missbrasil is mentally challenged.

thanks for the advice guys
