Hand 3:

I am at a new table. Table is less lag and more straight forward poker. I have 325 behind me at this point.

PF: 2 limpers, 1 raise to 18. 1 caller. I have K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in CO. I decide to flat call. SB calls, folded around. 4 to the flop, I have position and have everyone covered.

<font color="red"> Pot: </font> <font color="blue">$76 </font>

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Initial raiser bets $35. 2 folds to me. I do not put him on a 9 here. He could have an overpair, or possibly a pocket pair, maybe KJs or AJs. Maybe two overs? Its really hard to put people at 1/2 at foxwoods on hand ranges im finding.

I decide to raise to $100. I know villain is a thinking player, and has shown from other confrontations he is capable of making folds to big re-raises. I obviously have outs if he flat calls my raise.

How would you approach this situation?

1. I hate the preflop call here. You've got two early position limpers (and people at the Foxwoods 1/2 tables LOOOVVVVEEE to limp-reraise), a raise to 9x, and three people yet to act. KQs looks pretty but I'm not playing it in this situation.

2. While the pair on board isn't great, the flop is about the best you could have asked for. Flop is fine as played.
