Im dealt 99. Not sure about what suits they were. Im UTG on a 6 person table. Palt is on the cut off and czvezda is small blind. Palt is a large stack who usually plays solid cards. czvezda seems like a loose player.> Game # 263,606,438 starting.> Dealing Hole Cards> Binbs raised for $3> Razor-Pete folded> palt called for $3> ricone folded> czvezda called for $2.75> FLYeagles folded> Dealing the Flop(2 K Q )> czvezda bet for $0.50> Binbs called for $0.50> palt called for $0.50> Dealing the turn(10 )> czvezda bet for $0.50> Binbs called for $0.50> palt called for $0.50> Dealing the river(K )> czvezda checked> Binbs checked> palt checked> czvezda shows One Pair, Kings(K K Q 10 7 )> Binbs wins $11.90 with Two Pair, Kings over Nines

What were the chip stacks? And im assuming this is NL?...Well, if it is NL, then i would say to re-raise the flop. If you get called, then check/fold to the river. If you get re-raised, then fold.Folding to a .50 bet seems kinda stupid, since you've got the pre-flop raiser advantage.If you call, then you lose the pre-flop raiser advantage and are just wasting that .50 since you probably won't hit that 9.

palt had about 80 dollars. I had 65 and vxvezda had 40.Is this the normal strategy with raising pre flop. How much should my bet be? I usually end up lsing money raising preflop and then trying to fire away at the pot after the flop, which is why I wanted to minimize my losses as much as possible.

I've always been taught to raise 3x BB.

If he would have given you more to fear, i'de fold the flop...like if he bet the pot, for instance. But a .50 bet into a $9 pot I raise to $10 every time...no matter what I have.

There's still another player to act behind him. Maybe raise $10 on the turn, but doing so on the flop would be pretty aggressive, especially if you put the guy behind you on playing solid hands. Although I do suggest raising the flop bet. .5 bet doesn't allow you to get much of a read on anybody. Raise it up and try to see where you stand. Side note: Looking at > czvezda shows One Pair, Kings (K K Q 10 7 ) ... The K K Q 10 were all on the board... he bet to the river on a 7-high? What site was this on? I want to add this guy to my Aquarium.
