99 Early

[NYCNative]

The minraise doesn't tell me anything. Would you have raised with these 9s in good position in an unraised pot? I probably do. When I am in a situation where I would have raised but a minraiser beat me to it, I will reraise to about what I would have raised anyway - in this case to about t100. It helps define things a little better and if anyone raises that, you can get away from the hand.

I think a raise to t200 or so wins the pot after the flop but I guess a push is play too.

My thinking was as follows:

Preflop:

The miniraise on the 22s could mean as much as KK or as little as 67s. If I dont know the player, it really doesnt mean anything. Ill typically call with any pocket pair in this situation, especially if there's callers behind, because the chances of being limp reraised, or just reraised, are so low in level one. 99, to me, has a lot of set value, and minimal overpair value.

Flop:

When the guy bets into the original raiser, I'm thinking either two things. Usually 80 % of the time, hes representing top pair and is trying to figure where hes at with the preflop raiser. The other 20% of the time, hes semibluffing to get a draw for cheap. When the original raiser flat calls, that only means two things (at least to me). He has AK, AQ, KJ type of hand, and has missed the flop, or he has a monster (a monster being not an overpair, but a set, because with an overpair, almost all players would reraise in a spot like this to avoid giving cheap draws to the players behind). I'd put the former at 90%, and the latter at 10%, especially at the 22s.

With only two players left to act after me, there's alot of money in the pot, and more than likely I have the best hand. So I reraised all in?

Flaws in my thinking here?
