Hi foofighter,

I doubt that many players on these forums have the post-Flop skill to play T9o on the Button for profit. I would definitely fold it pre-Flop, and you need to be folding hands like JTo here as well. On the Flop, whether or not to raise I think depends on two things:

1) How likely are the blinds to call 2 cold with any piece of the Flop.
2) How likely are you to buy a free card with your raise.

The pot is small, so I generally lean towards just calling and letting the blinds come in if they want to. However, if they are just as likely to call 2 bets as 1 if they hit a piece of the Flop, then you have a definite raise for value. Also, if your raise is likely to buy you a free card on the Turn, then that adds more merit to raising.
