Could this have been avoided?

Pretty much a cooler, but most of the time I would start raising pre-flop to isolate the limper and fold to a 3bet.

Agreed
Pretty much the best you can hope for w/ 22 is bottom set.
In this particular case, 99 isn't folding pre very often, so even iso-raising pre isn't going to change the outcome much.

Hi!

Only one thing i can't understand. Why you min raise the turn? If you raise the turn more much. Where do they teach the min raise? And i don't mention what a risky play because if villain has KJ especially J10 and think lead the turn and you min raise villain can able call and river arrive 10, K or 8 what can you do? And thats you left 26 BB so you have to call always the river bet.

And yes i saw lot of times when villain can call the flop almost total air or just two back door draws, KJs, J10s, that's why i wrote.

there are few things more rewarding than coolering a villain doing the turn minraise of death
you have the nuts? i know you have the nuts and i have the better nuts
