99 hand for nOOb discussion

[bozlax]

VETS, PLEASE LET THE NOOBS HAVE THIS ONE. AT LEAST WAIT A BIT BEFORE POSTING ORIGINAL THOUGHTS, THOUGH YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY.

Ok, there's been a lot of "Am I aggro enough?" and "How should we play pps preflop?" type threads recently. I present this for NEWBIE discussion:

First of all, this is 5 handed and we have 9s, we should be raising this PF.
Flop as played, we need to bet here. This board only connect with 3 other kings and two other fours.
Turn we can lead
At the River, im not sure. Hopefully more aggressive play on earlier streets could keep this from happening. As it is,the pot is to small to risk the chance of a c/r. I check/call.

[starvingsteve]

Umm...okay, I'll take a stab at this?

I would start off with a preflop raise since it's a decent PP and in a shorthanded game.
On the flop, I'd bet because the odds are pretty small that someone has a 4 or a king.
Bet the turn because of the full house, bet the river to see if i can get one more bet out of the guy.

those are my thoughts, don't ridicule me too much?

PFR and leading the flop are no-brainers. The way I see it, this hand only becomes interesting if somebody raises our bets.
Preflop I call a raise, on the flop I 3bet. If it gets capped it depends on the reads. If there are no reads I then c/c to see what these guys are about.

Raise/Cap PF
Lead flop.
Bet/Call turn.
Check/Call river.

[voyamatarte]

Yeah, but why, infinity?

[jeanbaptiste36]

Raise pf. bet flop. Down were I play they will call with anything on an interesting flop like this one. I don't know about 2/4.
