Default Re: 99 in SB...4 to the flop...$3/$6

I probably 3-bet PF but calling isn't too bad, but mainly b/c of the advantage of facing the field w/two cold on favorable flops, of which this is a good example. I probably just call 88 and below here unless I really think the two limpers will fold for two more cold each. checkraising flop is very standard here. Had I just called flop, I probably lead this turn; if Button has overs he's likely checking through and its an easy fold to a raise. checkraising river here is very bad unless button is aggro enough to bet his A-high/unimproved overs here AND you can get UTG/MP to fold a Q, a situation that is relatively rare so it doesn't really merit a river checkraise. If you checkraise river button likely folds anything you have beat except maybe 77/66 and 3bets or calls anything that beats you, and when he bets this river in the first place it is very likely he has you beat.
