Default 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.

Your advice is wrong. In late-middle or late position, 99 is fine to reraise to isolate a LAG raise. If you have a good image, you aren't inviting a 4 bet by 3 betting a LAG raise - that's crazy talk.

Your advice to cold call a LAG raise with 99 and then play the hand for set value only is terrible under these circumstances.
