Default Re: Party $15/$30, pocket 9\'s

I think you played this fine. Preflop is the only question, but if you are confident your 3bet can isolate this guy then it is a fine play - if you are pretty sure others are hopping into the pot regardless I would just call.

Anyone who folds this flop is giving away money. The pot is rather large at this point, how on earth can you fold here? Sometimes you will make your straight and lose, that is true. But when you do win you will be winning quite the pot! No flop fold.

On the turn the raise is the correct play - you want to face BB with 2 cold to get him to fold a middleish club that might take down the pot. When he calls and UTG 3bets I think calldown mode is fine for the rest of the hand.
