50NL is just as confusing / strange as 25NL.

I was almost positive I was beat (AT) and at best tied (A9). Otherwise, I would have fired another barrel on the river.

Why are you limping in EP with A9o and then calling a raise? Definitely a losing play. Not sure I like the turn c/r, I would check call instead and check call or check/fold river. Raise or fold preflop generally, I really think that limping there is weak.

i'm not sure. i still make questionable preflop plays from time to time.

so would you just fold this preflop or raise it to go?

At 50NL I probably just dump it, I don't make as many marginal raises in the lower limits. Limping it is weak and limp-calling a raise is bad too, just fold preflop.
