Re: NL200 - 99\'s in raised pot
This is a tough hand, but I think your opponent played it pretty badly. Personally, pre-flop and on the flop, I make almost the exact play that you did with AK/AQ. Does villian have a plan when when an ace comes on the turn or river? This seems like a very passive/weak game. He needs to protect his hand and do a little value betting.
What are you trying to accomplish with the $45 bet on the turn? Are you trying to win the pot? Is it a value bet? If it's a value bet, what range of hands do you put villian on that calls your bet? Still, given that villian didn't re-raise PF or on the flop, I can't see how you put him on a bigger PP.
I like the check on the river, as you've figured out that you're probabely beat.
My only other suggestion would be to loosen up your starting requirements. If the table is really this passive/tight (and playing KK this way is about as weak/tight as you can get), then loosening up PF might pay rich rewards.
