9-9 against a big field (limit)

[dimseven 0]

3-6 limitI'm UTG with 9-9, and I decide, ok let's raise this time! Hero raises (UTG), 3 calls, BB calls too.Flop: [Qd][2h][4s]BB checks, Hero bets, UTG+3 calls, MP+3 calls, CO folds, BB calls.Turn: [3d]BB checks, Hero bets, UTG+3 calls, MP+3 folds, BB calls.River: [5c]BB checks, Hero checks, UTG+3 bets, BB folds, Hero folds.Was I too aggressive with 9-9 against such a big field? And on the river, since I'd gotten there, a last attempt bluff is out of the question, no? I mean, it's against 2 opponents, and a bluff would attempt to fold K-Q or Q-J, 10-10 or J-J too... but K-Q could call, if not an A obviously. The reads I have was that the BB was a loosie, no read on UTG+3. The fold is ok on the end? Or should I have made a crying call?

I like it. I wouldn't hate a crying call on the end either. Yeah, I hate that river too, but the pot's big enough and you are closing the action. I think it might be close enough not to matter either way.

99 UTG, I randomize on raise or limp - when in doubt, raise.I bet/fold on the turn - and probably check/fold on the river to the million fish out there who will call to the river with a lone ace.

Why would you do that? :?

No one has shown any aggression at the point I would make this decision. If someone raises me I can know that I am beat and release my hand. Otherwise, I am going to make the hands I beat call my bet instead of checking it through.

I agree with guinevar on this one.Check/folding seems to weak.Check/calling is ok.Bet/folding is best.

if you want to put in a bet on the river, check/calling > bet/folding, IMHO.aseemedit: i'm rethinking. ignore me for now.

check/calling > bet/folding

And Its Not Even Close, does anyone see why

Because were beat so often that a free showdown would be great?

pick me ! pick me!No better hand is folding (stretch to say a Q fears the str8..we can't represent that now)usually only better hands call (and some raise)?Check/calling might pick off a lower pair/bluff.

its HU on the end when it gets back to us. I'm not overcalling this for the life of me. I'm only calling because its HU and I don't want to lose this pot because someone was calling down with a 6

But we'd lose to a 6 too. I don't quite understand what You wrote...You mean no bet-fold because a 6 is going to raise of course and we'd have to fold without showing down?

I thought the 4 was a six. my bad. I'm still calling the single bet on the river here. Again, I don't want to overcall this, and that isn't even a question, but, I think enough idiots are betting that river if we check to them with hands that we can beat getting 11-1 that it is worth a crying call on the river

I don't know about bet-folding either... An A, 6, Q, higher pair beats me at that point. I could fold a higher pair (10-10), but I think most of the time a Q is going to make a reluctant call...But, there are 2 opponents left when it's up to me to act, sure BB checked, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have an A or Q... I'd have to bluff-represent the A to TWO others... I'd be more inclined to bet-fold against ONE opponent, attempting to represent the A on the end there.

I wouldn't want to bet/fold either. by check/foldingto an overcall-calling one we can see what the full action is.
