Misplayed Every Street?

I actually like the flop bet if the CO will raise overs here. This should (and did) get it HU to the turn. I hate the 3-bet though. I'd just call the flop raise and check/call down as long as no Ace hits. Good line?

Preflop: Raising will generally make 99 easier to play. If you are open limping, you better have a very good reason for doing so.

Flop: you shouldn't be folding here. At this point the CO can have a wide range of hands. I am not sure why you would 3 bet here. He is only folding hands that you beat, and he probably isn't folding high cards.

A preflop raise would make things easier, but you still wouldn't have had easy decisions postflop.

I 3-bet the flop for the exact reason u mentioned Contact...He could easily have overs here. If he has overs and he checks the turn that kind of sucks. By 3-betting the flop I dont give him a free card and also can get some pretty reliable information sooner than later

Yeah, but he may not give you the info you're looking for since he's fairly passive postflop. He might not even cap AJ here fearing you slowplayed a monster preflop or have a set, or KJ since he doesn't have top kicker.

I just know I want to showdown this hand and put the fewest bets possible in to do so. The hand plays differently preflop with an openraise which I agree with but just didn't mention in my first post.
