NLHE - flop is 2-9-A rainbow, what would you rather have, 99 or AA and why?

I would rather have 99 because if an opponent has A-10 or somethin like that he is likely to pay me off. If i have AA, an opponent w/ 9x is unlikely to get involved.

Doesn't matter.


The poor guy with 22 will hit his quads on the river to beat you all.

99 will get paid off a lot more. It's more vulnerable than AA, but not by much.

Neither hands are vulnerable. 99 will get a little more action.

9-9 because it'd be more likely another player has an ace.

Yea, I have to think 99 is the better hand here in terms of profit. It seems that no one is going to be willing to give action on that flop because unless they have the only other Ace, they will probably fold to most bets. The best you can do with AA on that flop is convince the other players you have KK instead and are afraid of the A. It will be a hard sell slowplaying it. Your other option would be to bet it strong and hope someone will not be convinced.
