Top Set in Unraised Pot

2/4 NL full table

I have 400, villain has me covered. He seems solid.

I limp UTG with 99. 2 limpers behind me. Villain completes in SB.

(pot size: 20) Flop is 975 with 2 hearts. Villain leads for 20. I call (?!?). Everyone else folds.

(pot size: 60) Turn is an offsuit deuce. Villain leads for 40. I raise to 160. Villain minraises to 280.

Minraises make my head spin. what do I do?!?

Laughable that people post this kind of garbage.

Push it all in. Expect to get called. Expect to win.

This is not a good flop for you and you want to keep in mind Brunson's "never lose your stack in an un-raised pot".

So anything other than a 99x flop for 99 is bad? I mean even a 928r has a draw on it.
This a great flop! you should be foaming at the mouth to get ur stack in.

[kagame]

i think he meant not a good flop to let others draw for cheap

just bad phrasing

[Leptyne]

There are times that you want others to see the turn in the hopes that they will improve their hand so you can extract more money. I see this flop as being the kind where the next card could beat you. You can takes your chances if you pays your money.

i hate tough beat posts, they are worse then bad beat posts because they are disguised better.

I'll bet even Brunson's gone broke with top set in an unraised pot. I bet Brunson wouldn't even think twice about it if he only had 100 blinds in front of him when the hand started. The last thing I am worrying about here is going broke. This is often going to be 55, 77, 97, 95 and occasionally even AA or a freak A9/22. There is no reason to put this guy smack on 68.

River plays itself unless a read indicates that trip 9s might be good.

River plays itself only because all your money should be going in the middle on the river if you made a mistake and failed to get it in before then. Looking for a fold here is beyond insane.

so what happened?

[donkey]

I called his turn raise. He pushed a blank river. I talked myself into calling even though I knew I was beat. He tabled 68 and then called me a donkey for getting stacked in an unraised pot.

Sometimes you get stacked because you've got a really good hand (2nd nuts in this case) and someone has a better hand. You've still got to get your money in, in these positions. Too high a chance of other hands.

If you won this hand set over set, would you have posted it?
