Here i decide to openlimp 99 (At this moment i'm the chipleader of the MTT). I'm facing a raise and gettin 3:1 odds to call. At that time i had another decision on another table so i called without thinking about it.
On the flop i have an overpair and place a Probe bet to fold when i get raised. The preflop raised calls my bet.

Question:
Do you guys put him here on overcards AK, AQs ore a higher pair then mine TT+. In this case i thaugt he could have called with overcards an dicided to take another stabe. But i got raised now but i thaught i had to call with 4.1:1 odds an already invested a large sum of my stack.

hm.
i thik i wouldraise to 3bb here with 99

as played you have to call the raise for set value.
on the flop you have to find out quikcly where you stand.
either bet out big about 2,8k.
if he calls your bet i would check the hand down folding to another big bet.

the other option is to check/raise big and then check down the hand if you still meet resistence.

as played its really hard...
you didnt find out nothing about your hand.
he might have called you with AK or AQ, but he might sit on a higher pair slowplaying it.

i think i would bet again but bet lower.
because i he holds AK he will fold to a bet for about 3k, if he calls he has made a mistake because hes a real big underdog (except for AcKc)

if he raises you all in you can fold.

as played .. i cant see him bluffing here at this spot.
so i think you should fold. the chance youare ahead are really low and against an overpair you have only 5% equity left.

Conclusion: I fucked up this hand


its allways hard to play a low overpair oop.
you have to try to find out on the flop where you stand


thats one scary flop with 5 callers and you are out of position

personaly would have folded it preflop and on first few levels would play for set value

as played the turn is hard to get away from but know you are behind when calling

Before i did the probe bet i actually decided to give up the hand when i dont win it on the flop. But at always its hard for me to stop betting when i have to know that i am behind
