I've played villain a ton, he the type that will flat AA KK QQ JJ -> 22, AK AQ AJ AT to pfr. He is very passive. My note is he pots top pair and nut hands, so his donk is strange, I was thinking 66 77 88 maybe NFD or a small SD. I think if he had 55 or 22 he would bet pot or if he had something like AA -> TT he would pot as well since we multi way and someone is bound to be drawing to something. The turn is horrible, as one of his draws hits, but he still has hands that will call like a pp + a FD. So do we continue betting and if so how much? What do we do if he shoves?

NL 20 5 handed
UTG $33.54
CO $4.58
Hero BTN $19.70
SB $28.08
Villain BB $22.06

Flop

i don't mind 3betting pre and getting it in against the shorty, UTG might even call :f_biggrin:

very bad card indeed, but bet turn, for sure.
whether to bet/call is a matter of reads and pot odds - if you are completely sure that he never-ever has a hand like a worse set, you can find a fold since his range is face up. that's a very strong read to make, though...

Pre-flop is villain depended if I would 3bet or just call, but a 3bet to like $1,50 would be fine option.As played i would most likely raise the flop more. Villain is betting less than 1/7 pot and especially multi way I wouldn't mind with a small bet and 2 callers already to make it at least $4. This way you doesn't get in a situation that if the CO would shove that you can't raise anymore when another player would call the all-inn as well.

The turn is a bad card for you, but I wouldn't mind to Cbet around $4 and if villain would shove you can still escape, but that's really tough with a set of 99.

with being on the BTN you need to 3 bet that to try and get a HU pot, also 3bettinmg 99 will help you when you get AA KK in same position.

Yea turn card isn't good If you think of all the hands BB would call river with, there isn't many that don't have clubs on them. Maybe A9? I think at this point being IP you need to Bet half pot, if called check down river if raised on turn you need to probably fold even tho that is a pain and hard to do.

Reading all the replies and I never considered 3 betting the 99. It's made me think that there is a lot of my range that I am not 3 betting. Years back I would have 3 bet this every single time, but for some reason I'm not doing it this time around. It's a big leak or weakness or both.
