Default Re: PP 99 What would be the best play

Why would raising 99 in EP be a good play?
Could you tell me how you have counted the implied odds for this situation?

Well, first off, it's a good hand. Second, you listed three folks as tight, which means they're more apt to fold if you raise. You'd prefer that with nines, but you certainly don't hate lots of players either because it also makes a big hand on the flop sometimes.

Okay, you're going to hit your set on the flop 1/8 times. For your call, you're getting 1/6, since you're calling 2, I think you only need to make up about 5(or something like that) total bets for your implied odds. Easy to do if you hit.
