Re: Playing Too Tight??

Thanks for posting this. I have read a LOT lately on this board about capping 99. It's really not a great hand. I think the OP made a good fold.
Value is a concept that, IMHO, should be balanced with hand-reading and opponent-reading skills, and basic poker skills like knowing when you're beat. Many posts on here lately have advocated throwing away chips in situations where folding is more prudent.
Value is nice in theory, but sometimes in practice we have to just fold.. lest we turn ourselves into donkeys.

This is not an example of equity failing to illustrate the correct play; it's precisely the opposite.
