Re: 99
 

I consider folding the flop. Maybe call and fold the turn UI. What is LP1 raising with on the flop that you think you should 3-bet with?

Re: 99
 

I don't understand why you 3 bet this flop.

Re: 99
 

I don't think a 3-bet is good because it puts you in an awkward spot like the one you're currently in.

Since this is readless, it's hard to know if he's taking a shot at you. One line you can consider is just calling the flop raise, and betting lots of turn cards and seeing how he reacts. It's hard to let go of this type of hand so easily on a non-A overcard flop.

Re: 99
 

why would you 3bet this flop oop?

/grunch/
Preflop, fine.
Flop, without reads I'm probably bailing after I'm raised. The flop is pretty drawless, so I think you're drawing to 2 outs plus a very weak backdoor straight. Pot is laying you 10:1 or so, I fold.

Re: 99
 

Preflop Raise is good

Flop: I'd lead out but I'd call the raise on the flop with plans of that being the last money I put in the pot.

I'm not 3betting his raise due to two reasons.
1) you may already be behind
2) there are a lot of cards that could come on the turn that would be bad for you. Basically any overcard puts you at risk.

Turn: I check/fold the turn.

Re: 99
 

It's hard to reraise OOP with no reads and 19 potentially scary cards that come on the turn. You will rarely get a free card on the turn, and you will probably not call a BB UI. The reraise gains you little later on in the hand:

If he's weak/passive, he'll call your 3-bet, and continue to collect your bullets to the river, or bet into you when you check and force you to lay down.

If he's loose/aggressive, he'll call your 3-bet, and call down profitably if he has 6 outs. If you check, he'll bet into you and force you to lay down.

The extra small bet buys you no information, you have few options being OOP, and you're not even profitable to call his raise if you're behind. I'll assume weak/passive and save bets until I get some solid reads - I would lay this down on the flop.
