Re: The 99 Preflop SB Debate
It sounds to me like you need to work on your postflop game, not starting to openlimp 99 in the SB. What makes you think it will be easier to play postflop if you limp and he raises? A good tricky player will raise up to 50% from the BB when SB open limps. You will see a flop with overcards often, and he is cbetting like 90% of them. Meh, raise your strong hands and open up your postflop lines so the LAGs won't float you as much. I don't mind firing most turncards with 99 if I am called on the flop in a blind vs blind battle, and neither should you. Also someone said your game will be transparent if you limp hands as strong as 99 and only raise JJ, AQ+ or so.
