[Closed] 99 SnG $20

The hand is better then the comments imo :p.

Ill walk through it for you:

Preflop:

Early stage (2nd round of blinds). Usualy I raise such hands, but this time having 3 limpers and being on early position I decided to limp in hoping to hit a set.

don't raise 99 at early stages imo! The limp for setvalue is great! Why would you raise? I don't really see the point in that. The way you played preflop is great! always make plays like that!

I think potsize bet on flop would be better here. I don`t like so many opponents behind me on drawy flop.

Ok, I think your bet on the flop was fine! Very good to be more precise. You don't want to scare them off too much, you're not giving them odds, so this is a fine bet imo.

On turn I wanted to induce bluff and play check/raise. In this situation giving a free card won`t hurt either smile .

now critizism, at last ♦, I think you should protect against the flush here. I know you have a boat, but the problem is, there is a good chance that villain is drawing, and if his card doesn't show up at the river, your pot (it's yours on the turn, i mean, who's gonna beat this great hand), is too small. I'd bet 2/3 pot again, it doesn't give them pot odds, against 2 pair, but it does give them the impression of having good implied odds.

river

no comment. I often overbet here, since it gives me better ev in the long run, but 2/3 pot is ok. Of course you reraise all in.

Overall: NH! Don't be so harsh on your preflop and flopplay, it was good.

When you know he is a calling station, why don't you let him pay for his draw on the turn?
These players will call you on the turn, but fold when they miss the river.
You lost a lot of value on the turn.

I just got used to raise 99 if there was no raiser before me in NL SH cash games, so limping along was quite unfamiliar experience :).

I really got lucky when ♦ fell on river, because the guy had A:d J:d. He is in my buddy list now ♦
I see my mistakes clearly now. Thank you.
