Default Re: Loose Flop Call?

I usually don't raise 99 from the SB vs. 2 limpers, but depending on reads it could be a good play. I definitely see nothing wrong with just completing, though.

I like the flop play, but when a "fairly passive player" check/3-bets you, you're in big trouble. I call the 3-bet getting about 10:1 because at this point I think he's got either 77 or 33, and if I turn my 9 I'm probably going to make up at least 4 BBs or so in impied odds. Still not technically enough, but there's also the table image factor to consider.

Basically what I'm saying is, nice hand, sir.

EDIT because I suck at math & totally hosed up the implied odds.
