Hi,

I think I should have 3bet on the flop if I had a better kicker like T+???

and as played the J on the turn its a bad card but had to call anyway.

Even with your kicker i would not mind 3betting since apart from the better 9 he could raise with any 8 and with quite a big amount of draws like T7 67 JT QJ QT. Hands - at least with a few of'em - he might take a freecard on the Turn. So even with your weak kicker i would 3bet but if we'd assume he's going to fire through with all his draws, it's even better to let him the initiative. especially with hands like T7 67 JT with no showdownvalue he's certainly going to bet the Turn and River. If he stops bluffing the River you would have been better off by squeezing out 1SB more by 3bet flop bet Turn but without a read it's hard to figure. 3betting as well as calling is valid in my mind.

The Boardrunout is really unfavourable but with no reads you have to calldown since he may even bet with K8 or Q8 "for value" or what ever may be the reason. Maybe you split against 93 94 95 or you catch K3 K4 Q4 Q5 Q7 for a busted :club: flushdraw.
