Poorly Played Pocket 9's

[Capt. Waffles]

I'm not happy with this hand at all, I botched it and turned into a calling station.
Should this have been an immediate raise on the flop?
btw, PT has MP1 rated as a LA-P

Definitely raise the flop.

[Wario]

Raise the flop, your hand is probably good and is also vunerable.

I may be tempted to call the flop and then raise a safe turn card but since MP1 is passive he might not bet again.

Either way you needed to show some aggression in this hand.

Nice name by the way. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
