I doubt my play here was correct OTT.
Flop play seems fine to me, sizing too. But I don't know about this turn. I think double barrel is a punt here.
Would you rather go c-bet flop, x/c T, x/f R?
Thank you for your thoughts!

I think flop is a check, especially 4-way.
T9s is your worse top-pair hand from UTG (I suppose, you have ATs, KTs, QTs, JTs). The board is not favorable for your perceived range as well. That board hits very well the BB range.
I don't think anyone will bluff-raise your c-bet too, so bet/fold is "ok". The thing is that you don't have 3 streets of value (not even 2 sometimes I may add). So cbetting, check/calling turn unimproved and check/fold river is not my favorite line tbh.
As played you're turning your hand into a bluff. K is a great card for your range and you fold out a lot of PP (66-99, weak Tx) with your barrel. I'm not sure that's what I want. How do you play OTR when you get called?

I agree.

I think I didn't think through this hand while playing I didn't have a plan for the river. But most likely I would x/f.

It’s not a check on the flop. You need to protect. You played well.

Well, yeah, I think flop is a bet for value and protection. But I'm not sure about T at all.

idk about the play here I think I would'nt bet the turn,we have a marginal made hand , when we bet and get called on this turn we are in bad shape but if we check we allow our opponent to stay in with a wide weak range which we are beating most of. With a marginal hand like this I would want to get to the river without playing for a huge pot. If villain checks and the river is not a scare card we may be able to make a bet and fold to a raise depending on the river card and villain tendencies. If villain bets the turn we can call depending on the size and try to get to showdown.OTF I may even check/call the flop instead of betting.
