Default Standard fold with 99?

This felt a little funny. Just sat down; no reads.

I prefer raising the flop.

With a double raise behind you, folding is the standard play.

Here are the strange results.

Final Pot: 9 BB

Turns out these two were complete clowns... I bet one had K high and the other A high. If that.

yeah, raise flop... you can't give SB credit for an overpair at this point, and if you are in fact ahead your hand is likely pretty vulnerable.

BTW, please tell me that Play poker like the Pros isn't really your bible [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
