Default Re: What is the standard play with 99 in small blind?

Again, these things really depend on the player and the board texture.

In general though, most of the time I will be continuation betting. Sure, villain is getting 8:1 and should be calling if he knew what we had. But he doesn't know. All he knows is we 3-bet preflop, which could mean AA as far as he is concerned. Thus, our opponent will often make a mistake by folding on the flop when he has good odds to continue.

Do you continuation bet on any flop?

Well no. Say the flop is AKQ all one suit and I don't have it. Now check folding against most opponents is perfectly reasonable because we have like no fold equity and are almost defenetely behind.

Do you check raise a decent percentage of times as a bluff, or is that a bad play at this level?

Usually not. Most of the time villain is going to have a hand that wants a free card, so I don't want to give it to him. Also, I want him folding incorrectly like I stated above.
