Calling a c/raise here seems pretty retarded to me.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#cc3333">MP raises</font>, <font color="#cc3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#cc3333">MP caps</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.

Flop: (12.50 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000ff">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, MP checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (6.25 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000ff">(3 players)</font>

I like your line, assuming the turn raise is the last of it.

Nice move. On the off chance that you are ahead of MP this move has a good chance of making BB lay down a better, but not great, hand. It's an easy fold to a 3bet. This line gives you the best chance of winning the hand.

I'm not sure I like it. What hands is MP betting that we can beat now, and how many made hands is he laying down to a raise that we want to fold? Also, how often are we getting a free showdown here, considering MP capped preflop and BB is still in the hand? I think folding can't be too far from correct here. I even think calling the turn gets us about the same chance of a free showdown as raising.

jason_t: party 2/4
jason_t: no reads, only one orbit at table
jason_t: mp opens, hero 3-bets on the button with 99, the bb calls, and mp caps
jason_t: flop comes QT3r
gaming mouse: fold
jason_t: bb checks, mp checks, hero checks too
gaming mouse: no
jason_t: no to the check?
gaming mouse: hmmmm
gaming mouse: thinking....
gaming mouse: looks like a c/r or possibly AK
gaming mouse: yea, check is fine
gaming mouse: is good
jason_t: turn card 7, rainbow complete
jason_t: bb checks, mp bets, hero raises!
gaming mouse: what is the pot when hero raises
jason_t: 12 sb preflop and 1 bb on the turn
jason_t: so 7 bb
gaming mouse: 7:2
jason_t: and if he has AK, he's not folding so effectively 8 bb
gaming mouse: betting that he has AK
gaming mouse: right
gaming mouse: 4:1
jason_t: well, hero is betting on two things here
jason_t: hero betting villain has AK
jason_t: and
jason_t: that the BB will fold any better piece of the board
gaming mouse: i think he will
jason_t: that may be a hefty parlay i think, but there isn't a lot of time to think these things through
gaming mouse: let's concentrate on the AK part
jason_t: ok
gaming mouse: it would also be a coup to get JJ to fold, and pretty likely
jason_t: true
gaming mouse: so really hero is betting on AK or JJ
gaming mouse: but we'll discount the JJ since sometimes he calls down
jason_t: right
gaming mouse: so
gaming mouse: TT - 3
gaming mouse: JJ - 6
gaming mouse: but call it 3
jason_t: sure
gaming mouse: QQ - 3
gaming mouse: KK - 6
gaming mouse: AA - 6
gaming mouse: but AA and KK are very unlikely
jason_t: agreed
gaming mouse: lets discount them to 2 each
jason_t: sounds good to me
gaming mouse: AK - 16
gaming mouse: 32 total
gaming mouse: 19 are good for hero
gaming mouse: wow
gaming mouse: easy, easy raise
gaming mouse: even if discount for BB
gaming mouse: who i think is very likely to fold
jason_t: wow, awesome
gaming mouse: nh

I wish I could think of all those combinations in the middle of the hand, but I would've probably folded so...
