Taking a stab at 5-10 6 max : T9s on SB

[pottie]

So I decide to take my first stab at the 5/10 6max during my lunch break. First hand I check my K3s on BB and hit my flush on the turn, 3rd hand I'm dealt AA on the button - take down the blinds and one limper. Feeling confident at this level after 3 hands...

Then a while later I get this hand and feel lost on all streets. Funny how playing a higher limit can make one feel so clueless.

Final Pot: $925

The hand makes no sense, weird play by CO if he's got the flush. 99 is a long shot too, he might have 66?
I don't like the raise on the river but I can't fold this.

When I'm playing higher than I'm used to, I fold this preflop. This hand adds a lot of variance out of position especially and probably not a whole lot of EV. Just my $.02.

I did consider folding, then decided I'm not tightening up because it's a higher limit, if I'm playing this in the 400s I'm playing it here.

Id checkraise the flop, but given the way you played this, very easy river call, never fold. If he had you beat, he sure missed out alot of value.
