99 in SB...4 to the flop...$3/$6

Sometimes I reraise this preflop, sometimes I call. It depends on my table image and my opponents.
As someone else said, calling down in situations like this ensure that you pay off other peoples hands, while giving free cards to hands that may beat you.

A nice way to look at these situations in 6max is to take the top card away on the flop. Just pretend it's not there or replace it with a 2. Which means that you have top pair. So checkraise this sucker, force out the other two players and take the hand down on the turn.

Aah, an HEFAP concept - Sklansky & Malmuth (2001: 193). It's comforting that i recognised it as such. Time for a re-read methinks.

Im always 3-betting this preflop but since you have decent position you could CR the flop I guess.

This applies on a HU game and against agressive opponents.
Applying this to 4-handed could be disastrous.

I agree that we probably have the best hand and need to play agressively as the OP suggested.

if everyone here starts doing this, i've gotta hunt down some 2+2ers fast! That'd be awesome.
