Raising preflop w/ 99

[Peter Harris]

lol! [not an english idiom either]

back on thread, i limp with 99. given a statistic cited to me before that "70% of the time an overcard falls against JJ" (that i have been too ignorant to validate), 99 is a set OR overpair play to me.

as a result, i will only openraise with 99 in LMP or limp along hoping for a 9 or undercards. i would like to see if i am giving up a lot of equity here.
