Very Yucky situation with 99

Results 1 to 9 of 9

    Default Very Yucky situation with 99

    Villian is 35/12 over 150 hands, AF 2. I doubt he'd raise a T on this flop, he probably wouldn't raise a FD either. My image is pretty aggressive.

    Turn is the main question here obviously. How hard to you bet? Do you consider checking? Is this a call the way i played it?

    Even though only one draw hit there's still 6 outs that are going to put a straight on the board and flush outs. Am i just going to let him draw to that?

    this guy is a fish; im pretty sure he's got a T. I always check behind on the turn here...I'm interested to hear a compelling argument for betting.

    He's still calling with a set, two pair, or a FD on the turn and i still have outs on the turn.

    I friggin hate pot control, but I think this is one of the few times where its correct to use it- essentially-

    a) You are only going to get one street of value if our opponent has a set or 2pair

    b) we have an incredible drawing hand we dont wanna call a shove with but which we are going to have trouble folding

    so... check

    also our turn check increases the chance our river bet gets paid off...
