It was very harsh, especially when the 99 hit quads on the flop. The K-9 winning with a straight from the Q on the turn was also nasty.
<Edit> What happened in the other one?

I might have made the pre-flop raise a tiny bit smaller (2000 total) as it's still 1/3rd of their stack to call and a bit easier for you to get away if the flop is no good, or they 3bet pre.

I'm not too keen, to be honest. Considering effective stacks, the raise is too big, and it's just not necessary to play a flop with JT against a stack that has so much invested pre. Wrong sort of hand, IMO.
