Default Re: 99 in CO, how\'s the play post-flop

Is this raise correct or is this a situation to call and see if the turn is a danger card?

You want to raise here. If you're referring to the "Two Overpair Hands" section of SSH, I don't think that applies because that's more for value raises when you have a thin equity edge (versus a big one). In this case, you're raising to protect your hand. Any overcards you can fold improves your chance of taking this down.

It might be better to wait until the turn to raise b/c of the double-size bet, but I'd still try to thin this field here. You're hand's just too vulnerable.

On the turn, I'd bet and see what happens. A check/raise probably means and 8 or K and it's time to bail.
