7 Stud:Flush draw, low pair, Ace kicker, play on all streets

[Holgininho]

I felt very insecure how to play this hand. Obviously I should have bet 6th, but I admit I had overlooked that the two other 9s were dead. I don't even know how I could not see this.

Is 4th street a bet?

Thank you.

I'm not really much of a Stud player but I don't really see the point of betting 4th there.

I would raise 5th to thin the field and get a possible free card on 6th, plus you have good equity anyway if people want to be stubborn.

6th looks ilke a definite bet as I'd put Seat 6 on 2 pair at best. He's quite likely to have just a pair of 9's. A lot of people will bet everytime they make an open pair, like its their duty or something. I think you have the best hand on 6th much more often than not.

River, duh.
