Re: 99 trips on a monotone flop
[ QUOTE ]
dude you have to raise this river. its obvious villain has a made hand and doesnt want to give you a free card for the flush draw.

Actually, I'm just as apt to put him on an 8 for the turned straight, and still not sure if Hero has a flush or not. I think this is a river call, and hope that SB overcalls with a worse hand.
EDIT: Oh, and 3-betting 99 vs. an openraise from MP3 should be a standard move in your arsenal. It doesn't matter that MP3 has overcards to your pair most of the time--the point is to prevent the players behind you, some of whom might have other overcards, from entering the pot. And it's also nice if MP3 cooperatively check/folds the flop when his overcards miss.
Never, ever ever, coldcall second in from LP with a pocket pair. If you're gonna see the flop, make it 3.
