I raise this PF. Everything else looks fine to me.

I would raise preflop, I think you have an edge here - is this borderline or a sure thing? (or am I clearly wrong?). I would also bet the flop, make someone prove to you they have a Ten...dont want to give free cards to the overcards, middle pairs, or straight draws.

good river call I think.

What about calling the raise on the river?

He has you beat but the dynamics of the hand would have changed if you were more aggressive.

Looks fine. I don't think limping with 99, 3 limpers ahead, and out of position is horrible. I usually raise it but I like to raise a little too much I think. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You definitely need to call the river raise. I wouldn't like my hand anywhere near enough to 3-bet but I like it plenty to call the raise.
