99 in BB

[Hojglad]

The cutoff is an amazing LAG/bully. He has been at it all night. Does anyone slow down at any point in this hand?

Perfect hand. Beautiful.

The PF call is a little close but it's not bad if you expect a lot of action if you hit and if you think the limpers will call the extra two back to them.

After the flop, you have exactly the right idea. Get as much money into the pot as possible. Looks like button probably had KK but you played it perfectly--if you're going to make this call preflop you have to be willing to jam it up when you make your hand. Well played.

What beats you? KK, JT, T6, 65, and a club flush.

CO/button might raise PF w/KK, but would he raise w/suited connectors or junk like JT or T6 or 65? Probably not, so you're likely looking at pocket KKs or a high carded club flush.

Depending on your read, you're either behind to KKK straight, or flush, or you've beat something like AK, KQ, QQ, AA, JJ.

I think once you're in the hand, you played it well (at least I would have played it the same way).

I might question the PF call, but 99 is a pretty good hand to call bets..

Take what I say with a large grain of salt, I just lost 27BB tonight... ouch.

For anyone that cares, CO had TT, button had AKo and MHIG.
