Hand from the $30 tournament on Stars. There's not much to it on the surface, but something in my gut tells me I played it all wrong. One thing that seemed odd PF, this guy raised 4x the BB instead of his standard 3x raise. With 99, I'm probably not going to get a flop where I am holding the overpair and with him first to bet and the raiser, I expect him to bet at any flop. I call a raise here for nearly 20% of my stack and if I'm looking for set value, that seems a little overpriced. With one overcard, which is not an ace, should I have risked coming back over the top here? If this guy had AK, wouldn't there be a good chance he would check-raise with this flop? Should I have folded this thing preflop? Should I have re-raised pre-flop? Read on this player - solid, but definitely not tight and he was betting flops where he brought it in for a raise.
