Definitely a tough one. I suppose you just called preflop in the hopes of hitting a set. Makes perfect sense. Problem of course is that you now have very little information.

One thing I've found (and judging by my form lately maybe you should ignore my opinions, lol) is that when I have an original idea in my head, for instance calling to hit a set, and then it doesn't work out, it's usually a good idea to get away from it. You took one stab at it and he re-raised all-in. Considering you haven't lost a whole lot at this point, I'd get away from this hand.

Yes he could have 66 or 77 but 99/10-10/jj also make sense. Sets make sense. Made straight makes sense and a whole lot of draws make a lot of sense. I don't even see much reason for mixing it up with the drawing hands at this point.

Anyway, that's my two cents. If you chose differently, I hope it worked out for you.

Fold to the the 300 bet, there are alot of hands that beat you and a only a few where you are best. You'll see 99-QQ, A3, a set, or 2 pair here often. The are some hands you beat but villain potted like he's got a hand that he doesn't want drawn out on plus you have a nice stack, no sense gambling here.

You are more than likely beat here. Could be pusher is on flush\straight draw but chances are your against a bigger PP imo.

Might be a set, might be a draw. Either way you are just asking for them to push over your miniraise, which is why it's spew. Folding is best.
