Re: 99 Early
i haven't played any 22s lately, but this doesn't look great to me. i dunno. i hate folding overpairs as much as the next guy, but "no set, no..." you've got 4 opponents, any of whom could easilly have a set. that's a big problem. i dunno, play could be fine, but i don't think i'd do it. i'd just fold on the flop like the sissy i am with a field this large.

Re: 99 Early
You play 109's. This is a $22. Your opponents are far too liable to suck here for you to lay an overpair down here to somewhat little strength. With t300 in the pot, I like the push.

Re: 99 Early
Generally I call min-raises with TT but not 88. I think 99 is kind of a either or (fold or call) for me. Sometimes I like to play 99 in flop situations like yours, with an over pair, which is why I'll sometimes call a small raise PF, however I don't like having this many opponents. And so being that there are already too many oppoents for my liking in the pot, I would fold this before the flop and defintely in your situation after the flop.

Re: 99 Early
you should be calling a miniraise at lvl 1 particularly, with any pocket pair, especially if there are other players in the pot.

Re: 99 Early
I know that's the general concensus here and I do with any PP if I can close the action, but I feel if I'm going to invest more than 15 chips I like to have at least some overpair strength.

Re: 99 Early
this is a very bad attitude. you should try it out, at least for a week, trying to play small pairs early and cheap.

Re: 99 Early
I'm very open to trying this. I just hate when I call min-raise or limp and then call the min-raise only for it to get re-min-raised. I'll always in this situation but yeah, I suppose my thinking is that if I put a limit on my PF middle/low PP invest to the pot to the BB, then I can avoid these other situations all together. My intuition says your response will be that these other situations I'm avoiding are most likely negligible to my ROI.
I also don't open limp with 66 or less in the early level. At least one limper and sometimes two if I'm in LP. Yeah, I'm very weak-tight early with PP but what gives. I'm playing the 11s know and I can give up these opportunities now for better ones a round or two down the line. |

Doesn't happen a ton. Don't let selective memory scare you.
