I like bet/call. Can't really fold to a 3-bet if you C/R I don't think.

I honestly don't think you lose much by mixing up sngs and crs here. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

How are you playing the turn if you don't pick up two pair?

We have no idea if this player is capable of the semi-bluff raise on flop w/ a flush draw. I would think that our hand is good here more times than not, so I'd just go for the c/r and call down a 3-bet. Obviously, bet out on the river, if called.

He could also just be raising a pair of 9s on flop or trying to be a "tricky bastard" w/ a good pocket pair by doing the LP limp. Maybe he does have a set or higher.

I tend to like to get extra bets in, but I'm unsure as whether or not this is good here against an unknown.

I think this is hugely dependant on the turn card. Give me some cards and I'll tell you what id do.

I'm not throwing 3 interceptions in 3 consecutive possessions and presenting my cornhole to Reggie Bush.

I'm probably SNGing this for fear of it not getting checked through. To me, fear of check through > 1 extra bet.

Sorry, I had to say it. Y'all played a damn good game though, I was rooting for you the whole time.

I bet/call in this situation.

I call because there is a >14% chance he has 2pr on the flop.

If I didn't pick up 2pr and turn was an under card [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I bet/fold.
If I didn't pick up 2pr and turn was an over card [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I check /fold.

I bet for value. If he was drawing, why would he raise and knock out the SB?
