9Ts, raising on the come

[PoBoy321]

My read on the villain is that he's a crazy LAG and his UTG raise could mean just about any 2. Same applies to his flop bet. Anyone hate my semi-bluff raise? I feel that I probably should have raised more, but I think any more is basically half my stack and the $9 raise is probably enough to take it down if he has nothing.

despite your read i still muck pf. your semi bluff raise is fine id say.

I like the semi-bluff reraise.

Edit: I would make that call with both hero and villain at 100BB+ stacks, but not 50BB stacks.

You muck 9Ts on the button, 3-way for a raise of less than 10% of your stack? I have position and the players are fishy.

poboy, without reading into the results, i dislike the play.

lags dont like folding. take advantage of it, dont try to make them do something they dont like. beauty of position is with deeper stacks just calling allows you to manipulate the pot.


however, glad it worked.
