Re: ($5) Busted out first hand with 99
I don't like this line at all. If you wanted to play 99 for its value, you needed to raise preflop and isolate. There were 7 people in the hand, by my count. The chance of a pair of nines winning a seven-handed deal after the river are very, very small. If you wanted to play for set value, then you limp along like you did and pretty much don't bet unless you see a 9 on the board. As it went, the flop you got was about as good as it could have been for you without a 9 on the board, but I don't put any more money in after my pot sized bet on the flop gets called by 2 people... unless I hit the straight draw.
