Re: 99 with straight draw... maniacs at the table
Jimbo, I'm in Blacksburg too... VT student?
Basically, I was afraid of the snowball effect... I call one or two bets, it gets raised another one or two and this continues throughout the flop, turn and river. All along, I'm telling myself "keep going because it's a huge pot", but I chance to possibly lose 11 or 12BB.
sublime, I usually raise here, but I believe one of the players after me had just sat down and posted. Otherwise, I'll always raise first in or after one limper with 99.
I'm not really sure what I would do if this situation came up again. I guess the odds are there to see a turn card, as you all have suggested.
