Bay101 20:

I'm sitting at the worst table in 6 months. Everyone is tight and aggressive, there is no loose money whatsoever. I've sat 3 orbits w/o playing a hand, folding my blinds. My image is pretty darn tight. Finally I get a hand:

I open 99 UTG. Folded around to button who 3-bets. Button is very solid, he is as nitty as me, perhaps even moreso. He has TT+ or a very big Ace. Blinds fold, I call.

Flop is A-9-4 rainbow. BINGO! I check, he bets, I raise, he pauses for 2 seconds. Looks like he's debating to 3-bet and then just calls.

Turn is a 2 (no flush). I check, because I know if I bet he will either raise of fold, neither of which I particularly like. If he has an A/K he should bet, if he has QQ- he will probably fold (he can be persuaded to fold fairly easily). I haven't decided yet if I'm check-raising this turn or not.

Villain gives me a "wtf?" look, and takes about 5 seconds before he decides to check. I've seen him hollywood a very obvious betting decision in the past, so this doesn't mean much.

River is a 7, I insta-bet, he insta-raises. WTF? Now that I've f'd up this line, do we 3-town or just call?

Comments on all streets? I think the turn check is a mistako grande, but what do we do if we bet, get raised. Call and then just c/c river? Call, bet river? 3-town?
