Exactly how much value do pocket 9's have?

Villian in this hand is bad and predictable.

You're probably behind on this flop. You are beating AK and AJ, but they both have lots of outs, and I can't see what else you beat here unless he routinely 3-bets small pocket pairs preflop. I'd probably fold this on the flop. What exactly do you mean by "villain is bad and predictable"?

[stoxtrader]

not in love with the flop play.

[I Play 2 Ski]

I check out on this flop

[Your Mom]

9s are worse than Queens and Tens if that helps.

I would have folded pre-flop.

Hey Goof,

I dont like this. If he is bad and predictable then just call the flop and fold the turn if he fires again. I know we havent played a ton of hand together lately, but the few I have seen, you've been too set on getting to a showdown. I can think of a couple hands in partiucalar that seemed out of character. You play great, but you are off your best game as of late from what I have seen.
