Pretty standard until turn. Worth a cap or not? Also on the river? Although a set could be possible, TPTK would also be a possibility.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9:h, A:c.
UTG1 folds, UTG2 calls, 4 folds, BU calls, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: (4 SB) 5:c, A:h, 8:c (4 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, UTG2 folds, BU folds, SB 3-Bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 9:s (2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-Bets, Hero caps, SB calls.

River: (13 BB) 7:d (2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, SB calls.

Final Pot: 17 BB.

Results follow:

SB shows a pair of threes(3s 3h).
Hero shows two pairs, aces and nines(9h Ac).

Hero wins with two pairs, aces and nines(9h Ac).

Please don't post results because it influences the handevaluation. I may evaluate differently once i've seen the result so to be objective avoid posting the result the next time. Raise Flop is fine because UTG could donk with a lot and you have to kick out UTG+2 and BU. Too many draws possible to think about slowplaying and as he may donk with a range consisting of draws and worse madehands it's right to raise the Flop. He'd certainly raised Preflop with AJ+. After his 3bet i would just call it down. Your kicker is medium and he could have A5 A8 AT 58 55 etc. and in case he's got something like 67 it just takes away the opportunity from him to keep betting the river as well.

I like your cap on the Turn with Top2. I mean he could have 67 but to be honest he will rather have any worse 2pair or something worse being overplayed instead of 67 and 88 + 55 ain't that many combos. But on the River i would just call. Once you've picked that read i would raise as well the next time but you capped the turn. You could have 67 or A8 A9 yourself and he donks though. should be a set or a straight too often so i just call. With the read on monkeyretard raise is fine :)
