Re: 99 -- possible leak
Definite Leak! 99 is NOT a reraising hand in small stakes holdem. Call the first raise if LAG raiser raises on a wide range of hands--but don't invite a reraise by raising a middle pair with only 2 outs and 5 possible overcards that could hit the flop and beat them--if the CO or LAG are not already in the lead. After the flop : no set no bet.

I dont see the initial play as a leak, once the guy autocaps behind though I am worried but as the flop has come low against an unknown I think it was played optimally. But it is worth bearing in mind even bad loose players tend to have a small range when cold capping preflop. On the turn I may be tempted to bet/fold a brick but against an unknown in a decent sized pot going to showdown isnt hugely bad imho. |

Re: 99 -- possible leak
At first glance, I was thinking 3-betting the flop. This looks like an isolation raise, we may have a superior hand. If he caps, ha, not sure what to do.

Re: 99 -- possible leak
how about 3 betting the flop and folding to a cap? That way you can be close to sure he's got an overpair. To me calling down after he caps is too expensive a way to find out if he's a (relatively rare) LAG with AK or something. I'd rather fold (to a cap) and watch what he does after the hand and get a better read for the next time.

[/ QUOTE ] If it was coming to us capped then this big pot would be offering 20-1 I am not folding this at that point you would have to see the turn and try and spike the set. |

[/ QUOTE ] hmm, how about bet/fold turn (he's slowplaying us). Check/call river to try induce a bluff if he's got AK (he's folding AK if we bet). Also if we bet the river we don't have to decide whether to call a raise that could be a bluff or could be the slowplayed goods |

[/ QUOTE ] Well I guess we can squeeze a call in here with implied odds, and then check/fold a blank turn. Still works out 1 BB cheaper than calling down. |

If you have a good image, you aren't inviting a 4 bet by 3 betting a LAG raise - that's crazy talk. Your advice to cold call a LAG raise with 99 and then play the hand for set value only is terrible under these circumstances. |

If we bet the river...he'll almost certainly call with AK-AQ. [/ QUOTE ] I don't agree that this is true vs. an unknown. |
