99 on level 3
I think I could've played this better, but I'm not sure how. Raise pre-flop to isolate? Bet out the flop?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) converter Button (t1590) Hero (t680) BB (t1155) UTG (t840) MP1 (t1285) MP2 (t1790) CO (t660) Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t50, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Re: 99 on level 3
If you were going to raise, only possible option is all-in. I'd be happy to take down the 3x50+25SB there and increase my stack 20%.

Re: 99 on level 3
i don't think a PF raise here is going to help you on this flop. level 3 i take this same line.
if you only had the one MP limper I'd raise, but the UTG limp just never looks right - what $$ are you at? |

Re: 99 on level 3
I'm going to almost utterly ignore this hand and concentrate on something else.
FWIW the hand looks fine. Bet out the flop? You did this recently with 88 or something similar. Why do you keep trying to bet flops you have missed? If you really want to bet a flop you have missed, you're better putting the chips in preflop when you might still be ahead. Lori |

[/ QUOTE ] Lori, I'm pretty sure this is nothing like that 88 hand. Hero didn't bet out here. And I'm confident his question is concerning preflop actions, not postflop. We hope hero has learned that betting out postflop when he's missed has been plugged. |

[/ QUOTE ] To be fair, I did consider betting the flop but I didn't because: a) I'm out of position, b) The K is likely to have hit someone, and c) A heart draw is likely to call (I'm really only interesting in betting if I can take it down right here). If it had been checked through and a card under my pair had fallen, I might've bet the turn. |

You don't see too many new forum members use this site as well as you have the last month. I'm confident it will pay off. |

Re: 99 on level 3
You played it well. I don't like the idea of playing 99 out of position here for a raise.
The only other possibility I see is to push preflop. |
