This is actually a good spot to bluff against me. My range is pretty much exactly 99-AA here, with 99 being less likely due to the 9 on the flop. I don't want to play an overpair for my whole stack against four opponents so I'm pretty much guaranteed to fold over 90% of my range here.
If I want to be less exploitable, I think I have to check-call some of my overpairs. Probably I would still bet TT since it is so vulnerable to an overcard coming on the turn, but check at least AA and KK. I don't know though. If I check-call the flop, how do I get away from the hand? Maybe I don't, but I hope to make a lot of money off of TT-QQ when I hold KK-AA and that that will compensate me for when I lose to a set. The thing is, though, my opponents all had a chance to raise preflop and didn't, making TT-QQ less likely.
The other thing about this hand is that it is hard to put my opponent (a regular, by the way) on a hand. 99 makes sense, of course, but I don't think many hands with a 2 are consistent with the preflop action. Maybe A2s or conceivably 32s. Probably not TT-AA (he would have raised preflop). Ugh.
Here's another hand:

I think I played this OK, although it certainly hurts to fold at the end getting very good pot odds. But, really, what do I beat? My opponent had reasonably tight stats, although I didn't have a lot of hands on him.
The only question, I think, is whether I can save money by not betting all three streets. But if I don't bet, I think I have to check-call and he may well bet bigger than 1/2 pot, the size I have been betting.
This one was a painful call rather than a painful fold:

I definitely didn't feel good about the overcall. But I think elmwoodiam's check behind on the turn introduced enough uncertainty that I felt I had to call. Meh, good pot odds.

Feel like I got off cheaply here. Bad check behind by him on the turn.
Chased a draw and didn't get there:

Let's see, in calling the raise on the turn, I'm getting about 2.5:1 and I probably have about 17 outs: 9 flush outs, 3 non-heart kings, 3 non-heart nines and 2 eights (I don't think the 3 tens are likely to be good at this point). Additionally, although my straight and flush draws are not well-disguised, he may feel pot-committed giving me excellent implied odds. On the other hand, he could easily have a higher flush draw. I guess it's a fine call.
Should I push? I guess I can't imagine him folding anything here so I don't see the point. Conceivably I could be ahead if he has something like Kx of hearts, but I don't think that's a significant part of his range. Should I raise the flop? I could have. I think my plan was to take it away on the turn.
