CO is lousy. No good read on MP3. Anyone do anything differently?

Unless he is a known semi-bluffer, I'd consider a turn check raise.

How many hands out there could he raise the flop with but also have a nine?

To put it simply, you are ahead here more times than not. If you are ahead 50.00000000000001% of the time, then a raise is correct.

You're right. I've never made any money at this game. I'm just an ATM for other players. I'll dispense with dispensing advice.

No concerns that MP3 has AJ or KJ?

Or is the 3bet on the flop to look for folds or raises? I'm assuming (tell me if I'm wrong) that if MP3 raises the 3bet on the flop, you'd fold this?
