Ok, let me be specific. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I think he has a king more than 50% of the time with this action.

Why am I wrong?

The read is "passive" and "slightly loose"...

I guess I don't give a lot of credit to the BB who leads at a flop with 2 players on an uncoordinated board with 1 high card. In fact, if I were in the BB I would likely bet to represent the K whether I had it or not. In this hand, I would raise the 99, thinking I likely have the best hand. I have the added chance of folding a K with a weak kicker.

I don't understand why we would call a 3-bet and then fold the turn unimproved. Is it not best to fold to the 3-bet. You are almost definately behind if you get 3 bet leaving you with 2 outs.

raising in the buff goes under the strip poker forum, not small stakes.

If he's any sort of thinking player and he actually had the K wouldn't he try to c/r the pre-flop raiser?

So I like hero's line.

If 3 bet on the flop fold turn ui.
Fold to a c/r on the turn.

The harder scenario for me is what to do if he calls your raise and bets into you on the Turn.

I think we will have to agree to disagree on the likelihood of him having a King [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
