I felt lost in this hand.

Do I check the flop here? I expected to take down the pot on this flop since I'm not giving much credit to the limp callers but maybe I should?
Do I fold QQ here too?

Thanks and oh, I can't get the pokerhand.org converter to work. When I click on "view in forum layout" the box only shows a url link to the website and not the HH.

I also problems with this situation. I often think I would have been better off betting smaller amount pre flop, say $6-$8 or maybe even limping. If I had bet $13 pre flop then maybe I would try a $25 bet on the flop but then am I making it worth while for the draws that are out? What do others think ? Are you more likely to be bullied off the hand with weaker bets? If I did bet $40 on flop and was raised $60 more then I would find it hard to fold, close my eyes, call and hope they are on a flush draw, not saying this is the right thing to do, just showing how much trouble I get into here. Ofcourse, a read on the players would help here, but I assume we know nothing. Definetly interested to hear how some better players would play this

The reason I raised to $15 was to try and take it down preflop, I thought that would be enough.
If I bet the flop I don't think I can bet any less then $40. Betting into that field also showed alot of strenght IMO. They don't know I have 99, I might aswell have KK so I don't think anyone would try to bully me of my hand, or would they?

Cheers!
Ps: Can anyone sort out my pokerhand.org problem?

If you've never seen villian make a move that strong without a real hand you're probably correct in folding.

What have you seen from him in the past. Could you see him making a move that strong with just an 8? Have you seen him limp big pocket pairs before?

EDIT: What's your pokerhand problem?

Havn't played with him before and I havn't seen him do anything weird yet since this is the first orbit on the table for me. I wish the 8 was a 9, that would make things easier. :-D

My pokerhand.org problem, well I dunno how to get the converter to work so I can get the BB code. I copied the HH, pasted it and added it to the database, but when I click on the "View in forum layout" button this is all I get: "( handed) pokerhand.org hand converter
Final Pot: "
It doesn't convert the hand, dunno what I'm doing wrong.

Pair o' nines is a mediocre hand that has limited opportunities for improvement. Plus, in this case, you'll be in shitty position for the rest of the round.

I'm a full ring player, but facing 5 limpers without a read from the BB, I would be C/C'ing to the flop and playing this mainly for set value.

Don't raise 99 out of position preflop. Check and try to hit a set or play a small pot with it as an overpair. Preflop is where you got into trouble.

I dunno about everyone else but I think if that guy was not a Good player - I would have went over the top of him and just push my chips in. U got the over pair - if he hit a set - he would slow play with this board and put u all on turn. Really looks like he hit the 8 and wanna take the pot down right here. If he was a tight player - he would have reraised preflop with a good hand - probably what he wanted to do with an early limp. If he was a loose player then you never now - he might have hit two shitty pairs but you can never be sure in this situation - I think you have take control and push -- if he had crap he fold --- if he had the goods - you wanna make sure this loose player knows he can make that same move with a crap hand. I think u had to take a chance here or make a stand and let peeps know they cant come over the top of you like that.

[PokerCrab]

But in general - I wouldnt raise with 99 preflop out of position like that espeically if it's the kinda game where lots of peeps limps then call big raises with garbage. In those games - I take a flop and try to catch a set before committing myself or do a pot sweetner raise like to 7 bucks --- and you also get someone with a good hand a chance to pop it preflop ---- then you can call to try to crack a good hand or fold --- at least you know where you stand preflop at that point.

1/2 NL is a sick game - always try to get ur info quick and cheap always!

Thanks alot guys, I appreciate the input and advice!
This hand took place right after I mucked those 99's.
