99 as an underpair
 

I've only got 26 hands on the villan, but he's LAG preflop and slightly agressive postflop. What's my turn action?

I call this down, maybe muck it if another overcard hits on the river.

This action is usually 2-pair/set from Villian. He thinks you're betting TP, and is telling you he can beat that.

But I still make him show it. Those are the breaks.

I think this is a pretty easy fold.

hero folds to turn raise

you'll be putting in 2 more BB to get 8.75 - are you better than 4:1 to win this? i highly doubt it....

i like the play up to then though

Is this all you know about him?

Anyway, this is a pretty easy turn fold. Pot is 7.75 BB and you have to call two more to showdown, and you only have two outs if behind (which, in my opinion, you are about 90+% of the time).

For all the newbies out there, this is what everyone means by "respond to existing threads - you will be corrected if you are wrong."

I was way wrong here. Thanks, guys.

I agree with milesdyson - your losing this hand 90% at least.
