99 facing aggression on flop

I like to play pretty small ball and ABC in this situation, as whenever I don't I seem to end up donkeying myself by assuming the best - that the unknown is loose, or is too aggressive. Often they are not and you just end up value-towning yourself, so I think restraint is the name of the game until you get some reads.

I almost feel like I am playing too tight sometimes though. Did you get moved man?

Yeah, all done thanks. Been away a couple of weeks though, but have had skype on, just been at pc odd hours - hopefully we can catch up for HH review soon?

You are probably not playing too tight, and if you are, it's a smaller mistake than the mistakes you'd be likely to make playing looser, so I don't think it's a bad thing with a new player pool.
