Re: 99 flops overpair linecheck
as all have said preflop should be a raise. I can understand not raising this hand if 2-3 people typically cold-call. I think flop is best play. Checkraising with relative position is a good strategy. We have really run into the least ideal situation, when we get cold-called and 3-bet. Now we are getting 19:1 to see a turn. The turn is where I disagree.
Since villain is unknown, I think b/f is the worst choice. If we really feel like we are ahead, we should decide to call 2 big bets and get to showdown. If we think we are behind, we should just c/f the turn. Villain has already "told" us he likes to play his hand aggressively. If he is behind, and has 6-10 outs against us, then that is unfortunate, as it's the price of being OOP with a mid-pair vs the pfr & flop 3-bettor. FWIW, I think going to SD cheaply and c/f are about even. I think we are usually behind though. Also with a known villain who plays ABC, we can b/f the turn.
