Middle pairs are fun in loose games.
No real read on opponents. Game is typically loose passive

Re: Middle pairs are fun in loose games.
PF: I dont mind just calling UTG with the 99.
Flop: good Turn: I think i'm raising to $8 to try and push button out one last time. Button has a flush draw no? |

With an overpair on the flop I'm not folding to a 1/3 pot sized bet in a protected pot. Yeah, maybe $10 is better. |

Re: Middle pairs are fun in loose games.
you gotta raise more than just to $8 if you're going to try to get button out
raise to at least 10 looks like he's on a draw |

Re: Middle pairs are fun in loose games.
If you're beat by the all-in, the only way you're going to make any money is to keep the button in. Of course, this gives the button the chance to draw out on you and beat you both, if he's not ahead already. How much can you raise to hopefully keep the button in if you're ahead, but make it a mistake for him to call?
Or is this overthinking the situation? |

Re: Middle pairs are fun in loose games.
i dont think the 99's are very strong here. so your not going to make any/very much money off the button with hands that are inferior to yours in this situation with a protected pot..
so I isolating the all-in guy is probably the best plan of action. when your in a pot with a weak'ish hand.. the goal is to win the pot not build it.. |
