Re: 10/20 Q9s
 

Is there something about UTG that makes you think your 9's are good here?

Pre-flop is debatable, but you know when its ok to limp with this hand in this spot and I'm not going to question it.

I'm fairly certain I'm behind. But I have a monster draw.

Re: 10/20 Q9s
 

Is there a point to raising? Against loose-passives I expect to be ahead almost never. I also expect them to rarely fold. You also have about 1/3rd equity (not counting the Q's as outs) so you're not really getting value out of it...

Don't drawing hands like customers? I don't get why you're trying to shut people out here.

Me neither. When UTG wakes up on this board I doubt your fold equity is enough to compensate for the extra bet you put in. Plus you keep the third guy from calling with hands that don't compromise your outs at all which is a decent portion of a bet in your pocket.

I have twenty outs to an almost sure win. That gives me ~40% equity in this pot.

Looks ok to me as long as you don't go crazy and bet the river if you whiff.

Re: 10/20 Q9s
 

There is a benifit to having him bet into on the river. Having 2 bets go in when you have 40% eq is not nearly as good as having 2 bets go in when you have 100% eq. The way you play it is fine though.
