99 LP, how's my line

99 has a pretty big edge against random players.

Whereas he might be up against random players, he is likely not up against random hands.

the 3-bet pf is close I think with the number of players likely to be in the pot, and so call. flop raise isn't going to accomplish much. I'm surprized no one advocated checking the turn with your straight draw and a likely overpair out there.

You can't expect a shorthanded pot so I just call pre-flop and look for a beneficial flop before making moves.

I also don't like the raise on the flop. You may have the best hand but with the straight draw, flush draw, and overcards out there so many turn cards can come that will kill your hand and I doubt you're a favorite to have the best hand at showdown - you're also not making anyone fold.

Just call and se what happens on the turn ala SSH page 185-189.
