99 vs. two tricky players

[Chairman Wood]

Other than the value you're missing PF ( I know you said not to mention it but I can't help myself, you are just misssing out on some $) I believe you played the hand fine.

my flop raise was to try to knockout CO who has a history of bluffing into flops.

[/ QUOTE ] I hope that was a typo as you are probably not knocking CO out under any circumstances. If you wrote isolate, then your reasoning would be pretty sound. A check 3-bet tells you that 99 is no good here. You have no draw. Fold. Also, your post should not include the turn and river cards/action.
