Re: VERY INTERESTING HAND.... how would you play it???
Hi All,
Not a boring hand. I don't like the way it was played very much. 1st. I would have come out with a larger flop bet to try to take the pot right now. Even if someone has a 10 they might laydown (unlikely, I know, and hard to say without some sort of read) if they have a lousy kicker. It puts the pocket 99's in a bad spot. UTG played this completely wrong. That should have been an immediate reraise at which point you can throw your hand away. When he came out with a small bet on the turn, I think you were right to take a shot. Of course, the river was fine.
To me though, the reason you even had a chance to win the pot is due to poor play on the part of your opponent. Isn't that how it usually is?
