Button steal hand leads to heated theory argument

"I HATE taking any line that doesn't allow me to get to showdown with a hand that has value."

How do you define value? There are two ranks of overcards to the pocket 9s.

That said, a guy calls your bet on a K-K-2 flop, unless that guy is very bad or very good, you're in trouble. And if your friend is viewed as "goofy," his opponent is less likely to try to make a play on him than he would be on a less goofy opponent.
