AT9 from the blind, too aggro?

My reasoning for the PFR was probably bad but I usually will raise any cards that I raise from LP from the BB. Why are you guys saying that the flop was so bad though?
My reasoning there was I had 9 outs to the nut flush, 4 outs to the st8, and 8 outs to overcards that would give me TPTK or TPGK. With 21 outs I had ~45% chance of getting at least 1 card I liked on the turn. Then about the same odds on the river. Against this guy I consider TPGK a monster.

Oh yea has anyone else ever been dealt AT9 preflop? It rocks! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Sorry for the typo.

Well first your overcard outs are 6 at the most since you have an Ace and a 9 in your hand. You can't count one of your flush outs as your str8 out either. So the most number of outs you have is 18, probably more like 14-15 with some discounting. So your equity against one opponent isn't high enough to cap this HU.

But I'm commenting more about the turn. Absolutely no reason to bet here.

Typing 8 outs to catch a pair was just a mistake when I was writing the post, but I did just learn something about not counting st8 outs as flush outs too :/ It makes sense I just never thought about it :/
