PKR $0.10/0.25 NL 6handed

I hold 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif on the BB
UTG has been playing a wide range of hands, and seems to raise with any suited ace
Folds around to CO who calls
SB folds
I reraise to $5, trying to push one of them off their hand, and hoping for a good flop with no aces
UTG calls
CO calls

Flop 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif K /images/graemlins/club.gif

UTG goes AI for $21
CO raises AI for $25
I call

I know the preflop reraise was risky, especially when if one of them holds AA-QQ he's likely to shove back at me.

*waves* Been reading the lowstakes forum here for a while too without posting and decided to actually start letting people rip my bad plays apart too, so hi and be gentle..

So I understand UTG raised? To $1?
I think I would just call it, after it's been called by CO.

On this flop I'd bet out. I'd be happy to get it AI here.

why are you last to act on the flop? did you check?

If you did check, i'd also bet out on this flop, you're stacking any AK this way and not giving a free card to a draw.

I don't mind preflop, but keep in mind that even a pf LAG raising UTG will be holding a good hand.

I don't re-raise PF, just call & try to spike your set.

Once you do spike it, bet it out, don't check a set when there are draws on the board. You got your $$$ in w/ a set though, so it seems ok.
