Catching a bluff with 99 400NL

[Suwalski]

Villain is pretty lag 27/24/4 or so, we have been tangling alot, in this session and previous sessions. With alot of 3betting and floating.

Sometimes i reraise pre, but i want UTG, who is a big station, to come along.

call/fold (raise?) river?

These spots are just 'meh whatever'. I think he's vb'ing/bluffing an equal % of the time, I know I would be. Either call/fold is fine I think.

Raising definitely is not an option here in my book, it just screams bluff and would prob be called down pretty light.

call and fold both is fine

Call first time so he thinks you're a station. Once he thinks you're a station fold.

you see, it doesnt really matter what you do, as long as you keep track of what was going on lately and how you are preceived.

Much better to have people think you're a station due to implied tilt odds. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

i think i might call this

but i would have 3-bet pre, nines is just too big of a hand 5-handed, esp. vs. an aggressive stealer. Don't really see why keeping UTG in the hand is so important with a hand like nines, esp. since youre gonna be oop vs both of them the entire hand

i think its a fold

Villain's range is wide here. Your hand is pretty much face up so the K is a great bluff card for villain. I'd call and expect to see ace high, Q9s, 66, etc a lot.

I call. He probably spiked a K or he's bluffing. I don't think he's value betting something stronger than AK or weaker than Kx given his turn check.
