SB: $117.43 (117.4 bb)
BB: $140.03 (140 bb)
Hero (MP): $101.50 (101.5 bb)
CO: $100 (100 bb)
BTN: $289.20 (289.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 9 9
Hero raises to $3, CO calls $3, 3 folds

Flop: ($7.50) 8 6 A (2 players)

How do I play 99 on this flop against a guy who floats a decent amount of time and what other hands would I play in a similar way?

25/19 fold to cbet 48. fold to cbet turn 35. wtsd 29. W$sd 52

Fold to c-bet 48% is imo standard. On this texture I give villain a range he continues after we cbet it looks something like this:

Pöytä: Ad6s8c
VO Voitto Tasan
Hero (mp) 43.95% 0.08% { 9h9s }
Villain(co) 55.89% 0.08% { TT, 88-55, AQs-ATs, A5s, A2s, J8s, T8s, 97s+, KdQd, KcQc }
-----------------------

As we can see we are on a flip or slighly behing - so we don't want to be putting money in by cbetting against this range and we should start by ch/c. Just Ch/c once 99-KK and to protect our range occasionally call Ax. With a middlepair we never have more than one street of value and 99 is definitely a hand we should be using as a bluffcatcher.

Hey Clawindsouza,

Probably x/c good is fine here. Other options with bluffcatchers vs guys who float a ton is to cbet flop and then x/c turn, but I'd rather do this with hands that have better potential to improve and be able to x/c river. So x/c flop is good imo.

do you got stats bout villains coldcalling range pre?
ch/c flop sucks a lot. our range is super faceup and its easy for villain to play his range. I doubt we win a showdown often enough vs a good reg with ch/c once.
Our perceiced checking range got a lot of medium/weak showdownvalue and a small air part. Im thinking bout ch/f vs good reg is an option.
Vs this guy i prefer to tripple barrel if i bet the flop, but 99 is one of the baddest hands for the play.

Imo bluffing 3 streets vs guy who folds 48% flop is burning money. Betting once and give up is surely +ev if stats are correct, and cbet flop and check/call turn should be also burning money since his range is going to be Ax mostly and not many low equity hands. Check call flop is ok if guy does bet wide enough on dry Axx (imo most guys will not fire wide because they will think that you cbet most bluffs). So imo cbet flop and give up is best.
