ty leader [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] i didn't calculate anything. you're playing 1/2 with a UTG and button limper and random hand posting in the CO. 99 is looking pretty large right now, so i don't think not being able to knock anyone out should prevent you from raising it.

I figured the decision weighed in the odds you were being laid(8.5:1 to complete?) and knowing that you very likely arent behind any hand that has you dominated like that, which a bunch of limpers.

"Takes experience" works too though, and from my experience i would have very likely raised here, taking control of the hand. Not to mention how your trips get paid off after a preflop raise and a seemingly harmless 9 high flop [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
