SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 9:diamond: 9:spade:

fold, CO calls 1 BB, Hero raises to 5 BB, fold, fold, CO calls 4 BB

Flop: (11.5 BB, 2 players) 3:heart: 9:club: J:spade:
CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: (11.5 BB, 2 players) T:club:
CO checks, Hero bets 8.5 BB, fold,

I always find it difficult to play this type of spots...
when i hit the set on the flop, i tend to check, as a slowplay. but i risk giving him chance to complete his draws on T...
i really need help with correct lines in this type of cases.

I do the opposite.
My only chance of winning more $ is to CBet. If opponent has something worth calling they will, if they don't they won't now, and won't on the T or R either.
If you have a tracker like PT4 it would be worth seeing how much you make when you check a flopped set compared to how much you make when you CBet.

Oh, and there are precious few sets to worry about on that flop.

I would go for a Cbet on the flop. 40% is big enough I think to get it in on the river if you get action.
