Push.

Hero pushes all in. If he has 99, oh well. If he doesn't, you are most likely to get all his chips in the pot now, than if you wait until a later street.

Push, he has 1/2 of his stack in here, he ain't folding here.

poboy · #5 07-15-2005, 01:59 AM

Nobody thinks he might have top set? What do you put him on?

Malachii · #6 07-15-2005, 02:02 AM

Bottom set, 89, JT, A9, T9 (don't assume Villain won't overplay top pair here)... there's a lot you're beating here. As they said in SS, you can't be afraid of running into the nuts all time. Middle set is just impossible to get away from, IMO.

He might just aswell have bottom set. Maybe 2-pair, maybe misplayed over pair. Put him in and laugh all the way to the bank. If he has 9 9, that's poker.

In this situation, yes.

I push. Minraises could be midpairs, and you will see 99 here sometimes, but you will see 44/AA-QQ here a lot as well. I think you are ahead here the vast majority of the time.

there is absolutely no way you can fold here. do you really think he'd bet out with the nuts 25BB? he's got nothing to be afraid of except a very very very low possibility of a straigh t draw. if iw as that guy id slowplay this hand hard with 99. you have the best hand 99.99% of hte time.
