0.25/0.5 No-Limit Hold'em (10 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy Elephant 0.60 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BU with 9♣, 9♠
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 5 folds, Hero raises to $3.00, 2 folds, UTG+1 raises to $5.50, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $9.25

Would anyone else agree that this is often a trap play by a UTG limper?

It depends on how he played before.
He defiantly had two over cards to your 99 if he is good. Can't be sure if he has a higher pocket pair, but when re-raising a sss player.. he most probably did.

You could have called and gambled for the trips.

But yeah overall good fold I think.

Iwould call this anytime, its not even a minraise ;)
Limp/Raise is usually a trap, but I have never seen a Limp/MinRaise line from utg so this is definitely very fishy.
It depens on the opponent and your reads, but I have found that on a good flop, you can outplay/outbluff these kind of opponents.
Why would he want to do that?

I just call and hope for a A99 flop

Bump.

My new perspective on this hand is that i should have pushed. Only 33 hands, but i think he will just call and wait to 3bet with those stats.

too bad there are only 33 hands but with vpip > 70, it possible that he is trapping but also posible that he has something like pocket 6 and think he is trapping

i would push.

You raise 5+1BB on the BTN or am I missing a blindposter on CO for example?

he Limp/Min3-bet you but nevertheless I think you are in average ahead in those situations.
Pushing is cool but I think folding in this spot is also okay because you do not got much information.

Note him down is a must ;)

I can't remember gerv, but i assume there was extra deadmoney in the pot. either that i misclicked :P


He is 77/0(only 33hands but...) fish so push all in.

It looks like a trap, but I rarely can get away one if I have no direct read (i.e. saw guy doing this before). It's also possible he's performing some weird thing with low pp maybe.

i would fold even UTG looks like a fish, but it seems really like a trap


Call for set value and set value alone imo. Just 2.5 $ to call against a guy like to stack off.

Sonic: I'm afraid this 'just $2.5' means 1/4th of your stack here... don't forget it's ss :)
