Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG ($90.25)
UTG+1 ($46.20)
UTG+2 ($75.20)
MP1 ($119.90)
MP2 ($100.35)
Hero ($105.35)
CO ($372.65)
Button ($180.60)
SB ($123.25)
BB ($99)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J, 9. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
3 folds, MP1 calls $1, 1 fold, Hero calls $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($5) A, J, 9 (5 players)
SB bets $4, BB folds, MP1 raises to $15, Hero ???


Think it's even good here? How much to lose in this pot, and how do you play it?

Forgive me for asking, but why would you guys fold this?

I'd probably fold it just because of the amount of draws on the board, but is this the same reason you guys would let it go?

2 pair is never the nuts. You want to be the aggressor with it, not the one calling

Looks like MP1 limped 99 or JJ. Even if he has QTc, it's not looking good.

Nothing pot and we haven't a clue where we stand.

Its a tiny pot and its probably going to end in an all-in one way or the other. Don't want to risk $105 to win $5 when we are probably behind here anyway.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

Sweet. I mucked it, I was just worried I'm becoming a big wimp. We always talk about aggression and raising this and that.

My TPA-style (says pokertracker) which I'm aware isn't the most profitable, it's just currently most comfortable, fetched me $469 last night. My biggest night ever. Pretty sweet.

I basically flopped a bunch of big hands (nut straight vs set) and trapped KK with AA...also got two guys, both holding QQ, to call my all-in preflop when I had KK. that one was misplayed but worked out well.
