Default Re: $22 - 99 is an overpair in a raised pot

[ QUOTE ]
I would have led out here (if I called PF, which I think I would have) and folded to a raise.

Having checked, I'm not CR-ing, because it has to be for my whole stack, and 99 is not that strong here, and he isn't folding TT ever. If I come along at all, however, I'm calling with this line in mind: on a non A-K turn, I'm betting out for a little over half pot and calling a push. On an A-K turn, I'm betting out for a little over half pot and folding to a push.

I really don't like C/Ring this flop with that bet size though, because I'm not into playing for my whole stack against a PF raiser with 99.

Mostly I agree with that. I would have bet out ont he flop here, see how he reacts to the bet, get a feel for where I am. There are times when I will pull a check raise here, but they're based on having a read that just about eliminates overpairs from a hand range. If I read him as having AK, or big cards and that he will make a continuation bet with them, I'll pull the check raise. But, if you have a hand range that could include overpairs, then I would bet into him, probably fold to a push.
