Another 99, good fold?

[SmackinYaUp]

Is this a lucky fucking bitch or a bad fold?

if it helps, i am pissed about the river 8, too. probably a good fold but make sure to kick a nearby chair or something to vent.

[dalecooper]

Yeah, you got screwed. He definitely had that ten.

[drmcboy]

Rigged! Good fold.

I would raise the turn hard instead of just calling. I would also check and call a small bet or fold the river once the 8 comes.

[SmackinYaUp]

Why raise the turn? I tried to play the hand like it was just another continuation bet that got called, hoping to induce a bluff or let them catch up a little since the turn made my hand.

As for venting, I didn't find any chairs, but I did find a baby so I kicked it.

Good fold... STBY buddy.

YOU DESERVED IT FOR EATING MY KK WITH 87 THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!

You generally want to be more aggressive with lower boats. If you have 99 on a board of 944, you're pretty safe to slowplay, because 4x can't make a higher boat than you. On a board of 9TT, Tx is suddenly a big risk. If the board pairs again, a ten comes down, or the x pairs, you're in serious trouble. Assuming we're only discussing turn play, the holder of Tx has seven outs against you - so firing out a meaningful raise is a good idea. Of course, it's very unlikely that he's going to fold anyway, but at least you can make him calling you a mistake (even if he's not aware of it). And if there's a 10% chance of him folding, you improve your chances of winning the pot by that much.
