50NL on UB. No reads on either villain since I just sat down at the table (notice that this happens to me a lot). CO covers me, MP1 barely covers me.
Hero is MP2 with red 99.
MP1 limps, Hero raises to $2, CO calls, MP1 calls
Flop: 6  7  8 (Pot: $6.75)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $4, CO calls, MP1 calls
Turn: 10 (Pot: $18.75)
MP1 checks, Hero ???
Thoughts on how to finish off the hand, and how have I played it so far.

played fine so far. bet it out.. chances are he had a piece and will call/raise. if raised, call and wait for the river.

I bet somewhere between 2/3 and the full pot here. Some people might advise you to trap, but I think you need to put him to a big decision if someone holds something like top pair, two pair, or one of the two flush draws.

I agree on 2/3 to potsized, not much use in fooling around here.

Agree. Bet the pot, you're almost certain to have the best hand but it's not unlikely that villain is drawing to have you beat.

I would definately put him to a decision. It would suck if he was calling you down with J9 though. I'd put them on draws, hopefully one of them hit their low end straight.

I'd bet at least $10, but I don't slow play much so I'd bet closer to the pot, probably say $15. Force better draws to a decision.
I would have bet more on the flop though as well, I like pot sized bets most of the time. I play aggressive though in NL, I don't look to trap much or value bet much unless I have the deck crippled.

ABC, it's easy as do-re-mi.
