[Str8Fish]

Hey everyone, just started playing 6-max. Here's a hand I'd like your opinion on... villain was 42/6/2.

He's a 42/6/2? What does that mean?

I think you know that pf and flop are standard. What do you put him on, on the turn when he raises?

[Mossberg]

Yes you're definitely finished on the turn when he raises. Calling down = spewing.

[dano]

That's an easy turn fold.

I don't even like you're preflop 3-bet considering MP only raises 6% of his hands preflop. 99 just does not hold up well against MP's range. It seems tight, but I think mucking 99 preflop is the play.

[Mossberg]

Well considering that OP probably only has 50-100 hands on villain, I think mucking preflop would be a bit crazy. I've seen guys that are 50/5/x over 100 hands all of the sudden raise KTs UTG. The preflop 3bet is standard, because AK or AQ is just as likely as a higher pocket pair here IMO.
