99 against 2 LAGs

Both opponents in this hand are LAGs, around 50/20/2 or so. No other reads, I just sat down and stats are datamined. This is standard, right?

seems standard to me. CO either has AA or TT-KK usually.

Just checking. River blanked and went bet, call, and they showed 55 and 88. Grr. Set the tone for an immediate 30 BB drop in the first 5 minutes of my session.

The thing is, the planets lined up perfectly for the Age of Aquarius and you are still losing to any diamond, eight, five, or three.

Heads I'm dead, tails they have a million outs is a tough way to play poker.

This is kind of strange, I guess, but against these monkeys when the pot is this size I would bet the flop even though there is a very high probability I will get checkraised and usually call if it is one bet back to me although folding immediately to the raise may be better because--especially if CO is the raiser--my set outs may be no good anyway. If I get called by either or both of them I would be willing to put one more big bet into the pot unimproved, either by betting the turn intending to check behind on the river or by checking behind on the turn and calling a river bet. Against more civilized opposition I would be more inclined to play it the way you did, but most 50/20's LAGs are capable of capping with some crazy stuff and UTG's preflop actions say nothing about his hand other than he decided to limp with it.

Well, the ace on the flop cinched it for me since so many hands in my opponents' ranges will include an ace. I just didn't feel like betting into 2 crazies who capped preflop. Maybe if one of them had folded on the turn I would have called down.

Is there is turn card here we would be happy to see? Can we call a bet if there is an offsuit 8 or 7?
