99 UTG, capped PF 5 ways for huge pot.

Hellmouth · #1 03-29-2006, 01:28 PM

This is the most interesting hand I played last night. I have no idea if any of my actions were correct.

Reads: Blinds both have VPIP's around 35% everyone to my left has VPIP's roughly 65-100%. Table was perfect.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Hero raises, MP calls, CO calls, Button 3-bets, 1 fold, BB caps, Hero calls, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls.

I raised trying to knock some people out. I have showed down strong hands when I raised this session and believed that by raising I could easily narrow the competition.

I really think that cold calling the raise back was a mistake but based on the huge pot and pf activity, I felt like my implied odds if I hit a set were good enough to continue.

Flop: (20.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, CO checks, Button checks.

I'm actually going for a check raise here to protect my hand. With the tighter opponants to my right I felt like I would almost certainly get a continuation bet.

Since it is checked through I am planning to bet any nonscary turn.

Turn: (10.25 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls, BB calls.

I bet as planned.

River: (15.25 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP raises, CO folds, Button folds, BB folds, Hero calls.

So far I have not seen much to suggest that I am beaten so I bet out again for value. The raise sucks.

With all the folds on the river I feel like calling the raise at the end was manditory due to the huge pot. I only need to win 6-7% of the time. The raise does suck though.

Final Pot: 19.25 BB

How does this look? Should I have folded PF? Are the other streets ok? Should I have folded the river raise?

I probably play it the same.

what a strange hand.

I might consider checking the river and calling if it's one coming back. But you may be right, and all the AKs that called your turn bet _could_ call the river bet too.

Played perfectly.

this looks like every hand i've played in the past month. followed by MP showing 76. i'd play it the same way.

nh, I dunno if the river bet is good or not but looks like you have the best hand.

Good hand. Preflop is good, 99 is very strong in 6 max. You have to call 2 pf getting 5:1 hoping to hit a set. You can't fold the river getting 18:1 you only have to be good 6%.

Looks good, I play it the same way. Since everyone is guessing a hand, I'll guess A2.
