Nines hand

How's my line? Is my flop bet good? I figure chances are good that no one has a ten, and I need to protect my hand as best I can.

All villains are fish, etc.

Yeah this hand is 100% straight forward. This is a pretty good flop for you and the bet is standard.

I'd play it the same. With only one overcard on the flop there is no reason to assume you are behind.

How do people feel about the PF raise from UTG with pocket nines?

Otherwise, nice hand all around.

It's standard from UTG in a loose game.

Standard raise. I find tha the online games don't tighten up enough on average to where you should switch to the SSH tight game suggestions until .25/.50
