99 On the Button

I like the 3 bet preflop to squeeze out the blinds. I would cb on this flop hoping he had a weak A here or a smaller pocket pair that he folds. Once he calls teh flop that's the last bet I would put into this pot.

Interesting replies, thanks. I admit I crapped myself when i saw the flop but was willing to continue as it was HU

I think this was well played. Your 3-bet PF scared CO into submission. You leading out on every street increses your chances of winning the pot immediately.

dont bet the turn

check behind and c/f the river

[Ghie]

yes I can see that the turn bet was uncalled for.

I generally don't 3bet 99 against an unknown. If I have a read that would indicate I'm ahead of his raising range, then I do. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

As played, check behind the turn. The board is icky for you.

Well played...
C-Bet the Flop is ok.
Check, Check to get a
free showdown with your hand.

With the "against unknown" fact pointed out I think your play would be better but that means a fold PF with 99. I have recently been cold calling raises with any PP but I see this as a major leak and have stopped.

Am currently a -5BB/100 player over 3700k hands. Got to find my leaks. Played 12,500k hands on Poker Academy before venturing online and was 3BB/100 winner. This sure is an interesting game!
