Welll worth a read.
Fold preflop, but once the flop comes you've struck gold. Once you get a bet and a raise and multiple callers on the flop you need to just go all in. If someone calls with 22 then they're playing badly and it's just a cooler when they make a full house.
Folding preflop is because J9 won't play well most times in a multiway pot, because in most cases even if you hit it will be sideways. IE you will only hit the jack or the nine and then be at risk of overcards or people with the same pair but a better kicker. Add to that you are playing the hand OOP (out of postion). Playing a poor hand is compounded when you play OOP because you are first to act on every street here and can get pots stolen from you because of this. So don't get into the habit of playing weak hands from weak postions.
This is more so in a DYM, as the key is to get to the prizes so playing lots of pots is not really helpful in most cases. Sit and wait for the right hands. This can feel boring if only playing one table but its the correct play in all forms of poker but definately in DYM's where you stone cold target in mind for what you need to do to win money here, and spewing chips with garbage hands is not the way to go.
This hand as others have said is best folded pre, but as played then definately shove the flop as you want to cut the amount of players down rather than risk some outdraw, which is what happened because you slow played the hand multiway.
When you start playing poker, I think the two most valuable pieces of advice anyone can give you are:
1) Play more hands in late position (On the dealer button, preferably) than you do in early position. In fact, you should try not to play anything but the strongest few hands when you're going to be first to act.
2) Always try to enter a pot with a raise. (If nobody else has raised before you) If you don't think your hand is good enough to raise, then it's usually best to fold.
As you gain more experience you will expand on that but these are the foundations that you'll want to build on.
Having position in the hand will always make your hand easier to play. You will get more value from your big hands and will be able to bluff more easily.
