99 utg

[bicyclekick]

I'm the big stack and I've got all my money from a player who isn't in the hand. Been playing about 20 minutes and have really only played 2 pots and showed down AK and QQ, both winners.

I limp utg with 99, player I don't know much about 34/8/7 47 hands insta calls behind me, the next guy who looks reasonable 25/14/2 through 78 hands makes it 30 to go, everyone else folds and we both call.

You may want to raise preflop.

I'd give it up on the turn probably; most people won't fire again here with hands you are ahead of.

Experiment with firing into the PFR on flops like these. Then do it with diamond draws, 33, an 8, air, etc.

Yeah i raise hands like this most of the time utg. Just like everything else. Not always. I like mixing it up with hands like this. Should I not be?

[creedofhubris]

They usually don't keep firing on the turn with hands you beat.

I particularly don't like the river value bet he makes.

Either give up or check raise the turn. Calling it and the river is the worst of the 3 options I think.

I concur. The river looks like a value bet to me.

why not lead out with a $200+ turn bet yourself instead of check-calling?

I think I would have liked a check-raise on the flop to define your hand... if he goes over the top... you can let it go.

you're gonna get pwned hard if you regularly take lines like these unless you have a specific reason to do so.
