    Default Best way to get the stack?

    I was playing 2 hands at once and feel like I played this pretty badly. How would you play it differently on any street(s) to possibly take villain's stack? Villain is 22/3/o.42 over 78 hands.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    CO ($49.60)
    Button ($27.75)
    SB ($59.05)
    BB ($96.10)
    Hero (UTG) ($47.60)
    MP ($23.40)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with 9, 9
    Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, CO calls $2, Button calls $2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.50

    Flop: ($8.25) 4, 9, 2 (4 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $2, CO raises to $7, 2 folds, Hero calls $5

    Turn: ($22.25) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, CO bets $8, Hero raises to $16, 1 fold

    Total pot: $38.25 | Rake: $1.85
    Sue me if I play too long....

    Dont bet 1/4 pot in a 4 way flop like that. Ur better off never betting 1/4 pot on the flop. His raise to $7 could mean so many diff things cause your $2 bet doesnt say much. As played I would 3 bet flop and hope his strong/bad enuff to get stacks in. After turn ur not making more than the $8 unless he happesn to have 22/44 or TT+ if his really bad (unlikely if no 3bet pre, but dpeends on villain). .42 AF is low, but only 78 hands. when people with .42 AF raise me and i have the nuts, i usually try to get it in ASAP cuz *most* times they are not bluffing.

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    bet 6 on the flop, then 3 bet the flop all day against his guy. Min raising the turn just makes it super obvious you have a 9.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.
