is it fine to be 3betting 99 here since i have position and 99 is def ahead of his raising range, + he prolly calls with all sorts of broadway. or would just calling pf be better?

should i always be cbetting here? for protection and cos i prolly have the best hand. once he raises i need to decide if i wanna play for stacks... dont really fancy putting in 200bbs with a marginal overpair w/o a good read so i folded.

Re: 50nl 99 overpair in 3bpot, line check
 

99 is the brink hand with which i call rather than 3 bet PF but if you think you have a lot of FE PF with the 3 bet then i have no qualms there.

99 is difficult to plya in 3 bet pots so if youre not confident in situations like the above then maybe you should just tighten up a little.

c betting is standard for value/protection/w/e, once he raises you are ahead of a complete bluff and 88 alone.

it may be likely hes the trademark hyperactive player but youre still behind his range at this point despite the large proportion of his range (relatively speaking with regards to other players) the bluff constitutes.

ergo:

i fold here

I fold here as well, and 99 is my cutoff for 3-betting as well unless you know you have FE.
