Better betting would have you all-in by now. Villian is far more likely to hold on overpair to the board, given his new weak stab. Raise to $30.

Re: Opinions on Pkt 99
 

how would you have played on flop and turn

Re: Opinions on Pkt 99
 

You shouldn't have a decision on the river. Make it 15 on the flop and bet half your stack on the turn and river.

Call the river with the way you played.

How many people are sitting at the table? If this is 6-max, I think the pre-flop raise is fine, if it's 10-max, I hate it.

Raise the flop, bet more on the turn, push the river.

Re: Opinions on Pkt 99
 

well no way i was gonna fold at the river. it was a 10-max game, but i was trying to mix it up because everyone was folding to raises.

i always have a hard time playing flopped fullhouses. I want to insure calls?

Re: Opinions on Pkt 99
 

Your best way to ensure a call when you've got big hands, is to play worse hands very aggressively.

The fact of the matter is that all of your money should have been in before the river.

Re: Opinions on Pkt 99
 

I don't hate open-raising with 99 at all in early position in a ten-handed game, but this = a burning issue in the hearts of men that may ne'er be resolved.

I would have 3/4-potted the flop, potted the turn, and gotten the rest in on the river.

Re: Opinions on Pkt 99
 

with potting the turn and 3/4 betting the flop what hands do you think are calling me on that board? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Seriously, its ok to slowplay a flopped fullhouse sometimes. Not a horrible play. I raise the river hard. Forgot that AA loses to your 99.
