If he calls for 1/3 of his stack with 99 he is probably willing to go all the way with it. I'm sure he'll say "I put you on AK."

most people will fold 99 facing bet-raise and a reraise all in

You need to think like a donk that will call 1/3 his stack with 99 even though he didn't have odds to and had no plan even though he felts you because he hits a set.

Exactly. The raise is fine. If he's calling another raise pf then he'll always call your push. If anything, a push from you will look weaker than the 1100 raise surely?

you played it completely standard/fine, it sucks he flopped a set on you, i lost a few G's yesterday in mtt's because people loved flopping sets on my AA as well. [censored] happens, time to move on.

AMT nailed it...play enough and having AA/KK cracked by a set (when online level shallow stacks) becomes and quick shrug and move on...It will happen a lot but more often you will stack their smaller pair

most people won't make this retarded minreraise with any hand ever, so i think what most people would do isn't all that relevant

I would shove pre, theres a good amount in the middle already and it looks weaker than a raise to ~ t1,250 and gives people a bigger chance to "put you on AK" and call pf with 99-QQ.
