 this seems like a draw so bad but 99,88,77 make way too much sense. Also, thoughts on flop?

Could be AK that bet the flop in hopes that you missed it with two high cards as well? Strange line here for sure, I don't see a set going all in on a King because he should know that AK wouldn't have called that strong a bet on the flop.

Don't discount slowplayed Aces or Kings too, I'd say a fold is in order because like you said a flopped set would fit the play.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
