Re: 99 -- possible leak
[ QUOTE ]
Definite Leak! 99 is NOT a reraising hand in small stakes holdem. Call the first raise if LAG raiser raises on a wide range of hands--but don't invite a reraise by raising a middle pair with only 2 outs and 5 possible overcards that could hit the flop and beat them--if the CO or LAG are not already in the lead. After the flop : no set no bet.

He is trying to isolate the lag not have a nice family pot that just calling the initial raise will bring.
I dont see the initial play as a leak, once the guy autocaps behind though I am worried but as the flop has come low against an unknown I think it was played optimally. But it is worth bearing in mind even bad loose players tend to have a small range when cold capping preflop.
On the turn I may be tempted to bet/fold a brick but against an unknown in a decent sized pot going to showdown isnt hugely bad imho.
