Bizarre 6 max hand
 

How would you play this?

Limits 1/2.

Just sat down, no reads as yet except button seems LAG.

I pick up 99 in the sb. Three guys limp, i complete, bb checks.

Flop J57 rainbow. All check to button who bets, I check raise expecting to isolate. Only problem is everyone calls!

Next card is an 8. I check (?), utg bets, 2 callers, i hem and haw and call.

Next card is a 4 completing rainbow. I check, utg checks, utg+1 comes out of nowhere and bets, button calls, i fold, utg folds. utg+1 had a pair of 7's for the winner.

Comments? do you overcall this?

Wrong forum.

The flop checkraise is good.

I might lead the turn as a follow-up, but I wouldn't be especially optimistic after getting cold-called three times. And it would kind of suck to get raised and have to spend two BBs chasing my sketchy outs.

If I checked, I'd call one back to me on the turn, getting about 10:1. I wouldn't be too happy, though.

On the river, I'd probably figure UTG+1 must have a 6, somehow, and fold. But, you know, I don't think we should worry too much about overcalling Button. You'd think the LAG would have made more noise by now if he had top pair or better.

As mentioned, in the future, you'll be better off posting 6 max hands in the shorthanded forum.
