(60) 99... Don't [censored] With Me Today!

[MikeMcQ1]

I'm not folding this [censored] hand 'cuz it was my birthday dammit and I was drunk. Plus Suzzer was at my table and I wanted to show him you can't [censored] with the Mack Daddy and impress the [censored] out of him with my brass balls. I impressed the [censored] out of him alright!

Now that I'm sobered up, how terrible is it?
Villain was an unknown puke.

You would have thought a case 9 wouldn't have been too much to ask on your birthday eh? Everything good apart from the call of the all-in.

uhh...fold to the shove. i think calling is really bad. there's obviously the chance he's a retard with 55, but i think most of the time he just has a higher PP than you.

Check raising the flop sucks.

I lead this flop exactly 100% of the time.

Fold to push. I feel much better about calling a push over my lead on a board like this than calling a three-bet push after my check-raise.

Suzzer posted a similar hand with TT FunkiMunki made a post on that thread. You are bloating the pot OOP, and if villian calls you have no idea where he is.

The PF raise always makes me think he has a higher PP than me so I fold to the AI.

As an unknown and a paired board I also have to fold to the AI, they love to play their premium A8.

so you'd just fold to a raise after leading? what if he calls your bet floating with AK or something because you donk bet?

i just think check/raising simplifies the hand and you can be almost certain if you are ahead or behind. if the check/raise gets called i'd probably just check the turn and fold to a decent bet.
