Re: a 99 hand
 

I don't know. I don't even have the book in front of me. I think that it says to raise TT there. If that's the case you cannot convince me that a good postlfop player that is making more by raising TT will not also make more by raising 99. (Please don't waste time by completing this all the way down to 22)

TT/99 is the cutoff line... I won't slippery slope this thing but the line does have to be made somewhere.

I think in general it is going to be very close to the same EV if you raise or call with 99 in EP in a tight game

Why do you think that? It sounds pretty random to me.

The fact that it's apparently debateable means the difference in the two plays is probably similiar... much much much more money is won/lost based upon post flop play.

I play it exactly the same. Raising preflop is fine; calling would also have been fine.
