Re: 99 - fancy fold or correct play?
Ok thanks for the insults; too bad very little explanation was used to back them up. Given his numbers, we can assign villain the standard:
AA - 6
KK - 6
QQ - 6
JJ - 6
TT (questionable) - 6...

99 - fancy fold or correct play?
Is this a good fold in the long run? I feel it is, yet think many will advocate calling here, and possibly capping. Anyway, explain your thoughts as to why calling, folding or raising is better here....

Re: I fold the 29th nuts
Pretty straightforward turn fold in my opinion. A somewhat passive player raising a near drawless board generally indicates at least top pair. Also factor in the small pot and the bad reverse implied...

JJ - Good laydown?
Read
Villain is 12.5/9/3 after 160 hands, I've also noticed villain play tricky in a couple of hands - i.e. check-raising and folding the flop to a 3-bet.

Re: Weak play from the BB
This is a fine fold in my opinion.
-The pot is small
-You only have bottom pair.
-You have to deal with reverse implied odds when you check-raise here.
I'd try to avoid getting fancy...

Re: Pocket jacks in SB
Folding this river is quite a big error in my opinion, you only have to be good here 1/13. I think it's impossible to conclude that villain isn't bluffing or raising two pair at least ~7% of the...

Re: A9 - flop 3-bet or turn raise?
Thanks for the replies. I agree the preflop call was very thin. Not a call I usually make, but there was an ultra loose/weak player about to go all in and I wanted to be there when it happened....

A9 - flop 3-bet or turn raise?
I'm little torn between the best line here. Should I 3-bet the flop or wait for the turn to raise a brick; or take a completely different line altogether?

Re: Another KJ for TP - can I overcall with it?
This hasn't been mentioned yet, so I thought I'd add it. In my view, if you plan on folding this hand you can't be calling the turn bet. When we are behind, we assign villain the following:
AK – 8...

I personally feel you should have given this up immediately on the turn, because:

2. The flop isn't coordinated, meaning villain will generally have at least a pair.
