What would you do?
5 handed.. your in the cutoff ~ .02/.04 blinds
player 1. +1UTG folds
player 2. turk raises .10 we are dealt 9s9d
player 3. button, short stack player, very loose player re raises .36 cents
player 4. sb folds
player 5. bb folds
we can re raise here, but i just done that a few hands prior with JJ, and this player layed down their hand.. iv'e also seen this player go all in with 99, and has a very loose image on the table isn't the most solid of players, but i felt this player wasn't just going to muck their hand to a reraise this time with the small stack it had.. and i didn't want to flip allin preflop..
i elect to just call, and see a flop..
flop comes 275 all diamonds, interesting flop.. i remember earlier this player bet on their flush draw, but they were also in first position making a cheap bet to try, and see it.. i checked since i was first to act to see what they do.
player 3 checks behind
turn T of diamond..
i check , player 3 bets .58 cents
what do you do here? ill say what i did after
also any suggestions here on how to play this hand differently .. i would appreciate the output, maybe i cost myself a pot.. iv'e been playing good at the ring tables as of late, but this hand kind of bothered me.. not sure why

Well first, off, if you're the Aggressor IE raise preflop, first mistake you only raised it 1xBB. With such 'loose' players you could easily get more $ for 99's. After flop heads up it's unlikely he hit that Flop, if he re-raised it one or two things could of been true. He wanted you to fold and gain that extra .10 you raised, or he maybe MAYBE had a decent marginal hand, since he checked it after flop, I would maybe say, Q10, K10, or maybe even 109, but highly doubt he had diamonds was he on a flush draw, if he had a flash draw by the way you explained it he would have bet that flop. Second you checked the flop with 2nd best pair on the board with a flush draw, meaning you had good pot odds to win that hand. I would have raised it more pre, flop I would have raised it 2/3 pot to see where he stood with that board, if he called then maybe you had some idea where he was at. That's my opinion I may be wrong
-
I would probably fold in this position. A 9 high flush isn't very promising, but he could end up just having a pocket pair that doesnt make a flush. The pot odds arent that great too.
-
fold or push them all in... mostly lean towards folding tho
-
i would say fold after then turn depending on your stack sizes... also depending on stack sizes i woulda push pre
-
I would've raised all in preflop. There would already be a good amount of money in there considering the blinds.
-
I would have probably done the same thing. Everyone gets there , everyone loses.
-
I would have called, but I also agree with some other players that if he was short stacked enough I would have put him all in pre-flop.
-
yeah since he was short stacked and loose, I would have pushed all-in and hoped he didn't have an over pp.
-
thanks for the reponses.. i did decide to fold, and allow the player to have a small pot.. figured i could always isolate them again, and stack them on a better hand.. than to put $ into a pot im really unsure of
-
Hmm .. Like TheCian said , i would bet more before flop , because pocket nines is pretty good hand , ok so flop comes and you bouth check , so it means if he hit anything in flop he would probably defend his hand , like if he had A7 , K7 or A5 .... ok. Turn comes 10 of dimonds. I don`t think he had 3of a kind or straight dro. He made a pretty big raise , and i think he really hit that flush , the question how big? But i think you made best choice to fold there , mybe he had that Q or K of diamonts ... Just my opinion...
-
Seems like he/she was the type of player who would of raise with a pp. I would have folded---given their range---since they prob, mostly had q-10, a-10, qj or even ak.
-
raise the first the bet take the aggressive pretenders will fold
-
which is better tournament or cash game
-
Hmm a lot of good answers here, since I'm a newbie I will use any advise
-
-
I would prolly call but knowing this is .02/.04, he prolly wants to make the max amount of money after the turn.
-
I would fold and run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

The diamond on the turn improves your hand, but also it could have gotten lucky n you, you shoulda jammed on the turn

Depending on how short he was exactly, I don't hate 4betting him pre because you're most likely ahead. If you're not getting the right odds to set mine though, with the flop and turn being so middling for your hand, I like the turn fold given the bet size. He's definitely not calling you with weaker hands so you're either way ahead or dominated.
I got into a situation like this last night at a live cash game i attend.
blinds are .25/.50 9 handed effective stack is $50
I raise to $1.50 UTG+2 with 8s8c. The cutoff, who is a regular at this game and many others, 3bets to $3.33. The big blind just flats. (the big blind is a total airhead calling station). I call and we see a flop.
Flop is 3c5c9c
I check. He Cbets 1/2 pot. (roughly $5 into $10). big blind folds. I call.
turn is 8d. I check. He checks. (I obviously intended to C-raise the turn)
Riv is Ac. I check. He bets $15, and I fold.
What could I have done differently?? Bring on any advice. I am not sensitive to criticism.

just get some money in after the turn, you should not wait to get more money out of it, having these 3 of a colour on the board
if he calls he will have the flush already
