99 in the SB. Not happy with how I played it.
No reads on the villian. My image at the table right now is not good, I've lost a couple pot where I was betting all the way and was behind.

That turn sucks but, by checking you make it easy for him to bluff you with an inferior hand. I think you have to bet the turn and fold to a raise. If called on the turn check/call the river unimproved.

Re: 99 in the SB. Not happy with how I played it.
check/folding the turn is terrible. by checking the possible scare card you just invited him to bluff you out of the pot with an inferior hand.

What could he be holding that's worse that me at this point? |

The point is, that if he is an alert player, there is a good chance that he smelled weakness when you checked the turn after betting the flop, especially since the turn is a scare card. |

Re: 99 in the SB. Not happy with how I played it.
The question isn't so much what could he be holding that you're ahead of but how often is he holding a better hand that folds to one more bet. The 3-flush on the board I think makes it less likely that you win with a turn bet since half of the time that TT-QQ would have folded they now call. So I don't think it's a terrible time to give up. But by the same token it does make it even more difficult for 9 combinations of TT-QQ to call now. But QQ at least can probably be discounted anyway since there was no preflop cap. So all in all I don't think this is too bad.
Normally here I'd just call preflop and check/raise a lot of flops. |

I was wondering if that was a more standard line. My thought process was that he had Ax (ten or higher), or PP T or higher. When he just called the three bet, I took away AA and KK. When the A came, I couldn't see a hand that he would play that I beat. I had only seen 20 or so hands from him and he did nothing to suggest that he was a loose raiser (hence no read). |
