Pls pls pls either bet3bet flop in hand 1 or I even think checkraising semi big is really really good. Just think of what your hand looks like in his eyes...966...checkraise big looks like a scared QQ-TT "trying to find out where you are at" or even just KK...nobody would ever checkraise big with 99 there...you will double through so so easily..even by a nit...nines full simply makes no sense if you take that line...A small 3bet with the line you took accomplishes the very same thought process in villain's mind...just contemplate for like 30-45 seconds and make it $2500...the problem with just smoothcalling the reraise vs the villain you described is that since you assume he is not a retard then most people who arent retarded will simply check turn behind for pot control as evidenced
