Re: 99 hand
I would reraise preflop, which pot commits you.
Once you call the pot sized cbet, you are pretty much pot committed. Probably checkraise allin on the flop. Check/calling is OK. If you think villain has a bigger pair, fold the flop. Anything is better than what you did. |

Re: 99 hand
i think you played it weak tight.
I would make it a third of his stack pre, and probably call a push. If I called pre, I would push on the flop. I dont fold an overpair getting these odds. Seriously, can you explain how you rule out AKs,AKo,AQs,AQo,AJs from his range with no reads? Sure you could be dead to a set or an overpair to yours, but your tournie isnt on the line. I seriously think pushing pre is a way way better play than the line taken here. I dont like playing a hand like 99 this passively. 99 doesnt like flops unless it has odds for a set. Folding an overpair getting these kinds of odds cant be profitable long term, methinks. |

Re: 99 hand
You can't call the flop and then fold the turn. Either shove the flop or call the turn.
I would probably shove the flop because half the deck is a scare card for you on the turn. |

Re: 99 hand
This isn't a cash game, where you can fold 99 in this situation. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] It looks like you played your 99 for set value - what were you hoping for otherwise??? The board is all undercards - that's a dream situation for you short of hitting a set. He doesn't have a 6 or a set of 8s (well, suppose there is a tiny chance), so if you think he has TT-AA fold pre-flop since you don't have the implied odds to play for a set. Seriously, if you have looked into his soul and KNOW he has an overpair - fold. Otherwise, you HAVE to get it AI with that great flop.

Re: 99 hand
I would usually reraise preflop. If I'm calling pre I'm pushing this flop.
