Re: 99 vs LAGtard in 3 bet pot
I would fold on the flop. I probably would do that HU, but having the third guy in the hand, effectively yet to act, makes it easier.
Simply calling preflop, like others have suggested, seems like a good option to me. I mean, I know you're ahead of Villain's range, but building a big pot with a hand that will generally flop an overcard or two rather than a set, versus a LAG, may not be the best idea. Smooth calling allows Villain to steal more, it's true, but at least the pot he'll be stealing won't be all that big (compared to the bloated 3-bet pots he'll also sometimes steal from you). And, by calling, you preserve your excellent implied odds versus a semi-psycho on a set.
