Strong Steady Progress

Just cant seem to do much wrong on the 2,4$NL cash tables. I had some help yesterday when i hit a higher set vs a lower one on the flop but those sort of pots are just the good side of variance which are important to remember when the reverse happens to you (see earlier post re: $914 pot). Ended up about $350 up for the day yesterday (which included losses of $109 and £55 for tournaments) which is good. When i play a lot of cash in a day its always to be 300-400$ up as over a month that would equate to £4-£6000.

Anyway just hit the tables for 50 minutes today at 2,4$ and came off $280 up. Only real pot of interest was 9 handed in the bb.

UTG raiser to 14 called by 2 so i take flop with 8c9c.
Flop is 8s6c5c and i decide im going to play this hand strong by a probable chk raise rather than leading out (which i would do often too).
UTG bets 25 which is called by one other. I make it 80 in total and just the caller stays in.
Turn is a Jd and i know im committed so stick my remaining 270$ into the $250 pot.
He folds after a good time thinking, hard to put him on a hand. Mayb higher flush draw, mayb 99 or 1010 or given the standard sometimes at these tables even 77.
