Unusual PF play.
Lost the HH.
blinds 15/30 MP limps (1.3k) I limp with 99 and 900 chips, co limps (1k), button minraises to 60 (1k), BB calls (700), MP calls.... Apathy Pushes. Do other people make this sort of play consistantly? I would often tend to take a flop here. |

Re: Unusual PF play.
do you think that's better than trying for a set?

Re: Unusual PF play.
Wow I did the exact same thing today, but I was in the SB with 99.
I initally limped so that I could hit a set. Then the BB minraised, there were two callers. I could play for a set here, but now there's like 450 in the pot (level 3), which increases my stack by 50%. So I'm happy to try to take it right now after nobody showed real strength, plus I have a hand that figures to rate well when called. I think that's exactly what you did here. Limped for a set, then after the min-raise, the pot increases your stack by ~200, or 22%, so it's worth trying to take. I would like it better at the next level, when the pot is even bigger, but I like it a lot here too. |

[/ QUOTE ] suppose these #s are correct. you push 99 everyone folds + EV210 you push and are called by 88, 99, TT, JJ AQ+ (win 50.5%) +EV65 I guess you're called 20% and you steal 80%... dunno. If so, +EV180 is the total from the move... I don't know if a set is higher EV... but that looks pretty good if my #s are correct [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |

Re: Unusual PF play.
i did the same thing with 99 in a 109 today from the BB... got called by initial min-raiser holding AQo.. i lost to a AQ on the flop
it's something that i think works better during the week, rather than on weekend nights though--- not that i mind terribly, getting called by someone with overs, but just taking the pot down is better. |

Re: Unusual PF play.
Tough call. Very similar thing happened with 99 to me while I was thinking about it, so I pushed. The raiser and caller folded, one saying AJ.
It's always tempting, but I don't usually do it. |

Re: Unusual PF play.
Dammit, 99 in a close call situation again. Pushed and it worked. Whew. I have to stop reading while I play.
