99 on CO; T high flop
How should I play this? Turbo with a $15 buyin. A major leak of mine is giving absolutely no respect to bets that are less than 1/2 the pot. How should I handle small bets? It seems like 80% of...

any merit?
How bad is this play? Does it have any merit? I sensed weakness and wanted to steal and figured I had a 30% shot at drawing out. I'm on the bubble with the 2nd shortest stack.

Re: close but no cigar
I'm very confused. On these boards I've been told that folding J9s from EP is an "easy fold". Now I know that J9s is a considerably better hand than two fours. What gives?

Re: When To Check-Raise?
I think it is very important to bet the flop to avoid giving a free card. I'd probably bet the turn too; again scared to give a free card.
