I flopped trip nines with A kicker. No particular reads on other players. Slow play seemed pretty safe. What must villian have to make all in re-raise on turn? I figured him for another trip nine slowplayer.

Input please. I'm enjoying my move up to $25 NL as I find it easier to read game play, but still just breaking even.

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

($15.40)
MP2 ($27.70)
CO ($22.70)
Button ($23.80)
SB ($21.95)
BB ($7.50)
UTG ($7.90)

Preflop: is with , . SB posts a blind of $0.10.

Flop: ($0.35) 2, 9, 9 (7 players)
SB checks, BB checks, CO bets $1, Button calls $1, SB calls $1, BB calls $1. (playing it slow)

Turn: ($4.35) 6 (7 players)
SB bets $1.5, BB calls $1.50, CO folds, Button raises to $3, SB raises to $6.5, BB folds, Button raises to $22, SB calls $14.20. playing from button, I put villian on trip 9s too with weaker kicker
River: ($48.55) J (5 players)

Final Pot: $48.55

lead the flop, lead the turn, or with all the action go for a c/r perhaps and try to get it all in on a club free river.

I put sb on 22/66, 9x, maybe overpair. but yea, fast play this. build the pot up because they're calling, and the club draw either gets you action when youre beat or gets you less action when youre ahead because someone with a weaker hand gets scared.

Results:

The hand converter messed something up here. Lots of limpers on the flop. On the turn I went for it, raising to $6.5, pushing everyone else out but button who raised all in. I thought I was good, but button had 6,6 (kudos to benny999 for seeing that when I didn't) for a boat and I lost my first stack at $25nl.

ironically, the button's screen name was 'fullhouse' !

Should I have seen this too or can I be forgiven for calling that all in raise?

Hmmm, I would be quite interested in this as well as I have lost stacks at that limit as well when my trip were up against FH or my FH up against a higher FH. In SNG's I seem to have a pretty good understanding of when someone has me beat but this is certainly a leak for me in ring games.

you have the 5th nuts and its 25nl. imo its fine to play a big pot there without a passive read. i just think you should've led or raised flop and bet more on turn, etc. basically get all in with less bets.

Board: 9h 9d 5h
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 79.1491 % 71.39% 07.76% { Ac9c }
Hand 2: 20.8509 % 13.09% 07.76% { 66, 22, 92s+, A9o, K9o, Q9o, J9o, T9o }

Remember poker is never ending, and not about results of one hand.

The deeper the stacks, the less inclined I am to slow play. I want all their damn chips. Say this was a MTT where the average stack tends to have <15 bbs, I like a flop call. In a cash game when majority of the players have >100 bbs... build the pot.

at these stakes with this hand you lose a stack, and if you hadnt have done then you wouldnt have played it right.
So nh ul.

Thanks everyone.

Losing the stack stung, but its encouraging to hear from you that my play was reasonable.

i think you may have missed the point of the comments everyone was making. their basic message was that losing a stack here was fine given the stakes. but the consensus seemed to be that you should not have slowplayed this hand in this spot.

most of the table limped in and saw a flop that came with two cards to the flush. and on this low mildly connected board, everyone was willing to call a flop bet. this is not a safe situation. or at the very least, you will get more money into the pot by playing it fast.
