Re: Playing 99 like a donkey
I usually fold this hand when UTG raises. To me, an UTG raise usually means a premium hand. But since you played and then raised the flop, after UTG checks the turn, you should bet again. Since you checked, you now give control to the next person who puts money into the pot. You won't know where you stand.

Re: Playing 99 like a donkey
Besides the preflop 3 bet, I'd play it the same, and the 3 bet's just personal preference I guess. I usually wait until I have JJ or better.
I think optimally though......you should probably fold the turn. |

This 3bet is very standard OP: I like the flop raise, but with this line you should follow through on the turn. The cold callers behind you on the flop are a little scary given the flush board, but you can bet now and easily fold to a raise OR you could check and fold. I think you chose the worst turn line you could. You dont really have a good draw (3 other ppl, 1 probably has a 9 high FD covered) but you hand is probably not best either. As played i think bet/fold.. but i could see check/fold too. |

Re: Playing 99 like a donkey
I think you have to bet the turn. Seems like a pretty easy fold to a raise, and you don't give up the lead.
PF looks standard to me as well. |

I'd rather bet. You have a flush draw now which will hold up if it comes in a fair amount of the time. If you get raised on the turn, call it and you can check/fold the river if you don't pick up another 9 or [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. If you do pick either up, just check/call the river in case a bigger flush came in or check/fold maybe if it comes back two to you if UTG check/raises. |

Re: Playing 99 like a donkey
Like others, I don't think betting this turn is very good. With what hand is button CC the flop? A flushdraw or a T. So why is betting this turn good? Also, when you check the turn and button bets and utg calls, how bad is just folding?
