I prefer raising the flop.

With a double raise behind you, folding is the standard play.

Final Pot: 9 BB

Turns out these two were complete clowns... I bet one had K high and the other A high. If that.

i have been blown off the best hand before, it happens.

just next time, raise the flop. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Standard fold with 99?
 

yeah, raise flop... you can't give SB credit for an overpair at this point, and if you are in fact ahead your hand is likely pretty vulnerable.

BTW, please tell me that Play poker like the Pros isn't really your bible [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Why didn't you raise the flop?
