99 UTG get's 3 bet by TAG

I would check/call, check/call, check/ smash my keyboard/ cry like a school girl/ fold.

i think i tend to remember better those things that i have read that i agree with. somewhere, i read that (9,9), (8,8) & (7,7) are too good to fold pre-flop in early position

You are giving up too much value if you limp in with 99 given your typical LP 2/4 table.

i try and not smash the keyboard (i did that only once). but, a few of my mouse controls have met an untimely fate. however, i'm working on better emotional control...

I limp 88/99 in EP only if the table is very loose and I expect two or three people to be playing at me if I raise.

Otherwise I am fine with raising 88/99 in EP.
