I don't usually raise 99 UTG, but other than that it looks good.

EDIT: should I be raising it there?

Looks fine.

Seems fine. Wow PS 0.05/0.10 are crazy tight.

I'm cool with the preflop raise, you want to limit the number of opponents with a hand like 99. I don't think you could have played this hand any differently. You have to bet the flop, turn and river. Definitely raise like crazy when you make your full house - you might have beenup against tens-full, but odds are you're not.

I was up against flopped quad tens. The guy slowplayed the s*it out of them.

It really made me wonder if I made a bad player, but I figure I was just up against someone who does stuff like that.

I do feel like an idiot though.

Without any specific table reads I have found that .10/.20 and below tables are loose enough to raise with 99 UTG but .25/.50 and higher are generally too tight.
