[Sunday Million] 99 preflop

Poker Stars $200+$15 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t250/t500 Blinds + t50 - 9 players - View hand 1777908
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

SB: t23628 M = 19.69
Hero (BB): t15954 M = 13.29
UTG: t9030 M = 7.53
UTG+1: t9245 M = 7.70
UTG+2: t8106 M = 6.75
MP1: t18869 M = 15.72
MP2: t23453 M = 19.54
CO: t5926 M = 4.94
BTN: t16429 M = 13.69

Pre Flop: (t1200) Hero is BB with 9 9
4 folds, MP2 raises to t1000, 3 folds, Hero?

Villain plays 18/16 with a 66% att. to steal and I haven't seen him go out of line.

What's my best play here: 3bet/get it in, 3bet/fold or flatcall?

Without particular history or metagame considerations i think call is best.

Really? 32bbs deep HJ vs BB?

Seems to me like the default would be to 3b/call without a particular read that he's gonna fold to a lot of 3bets and only cram better.

I also prefer 3bet/calling. Flatting is ok if you feel really sharp playing oop.

I think flatting isn't that bad, but I would definitly be 3betting this to put the pressure on him.

Re: [Sunday Million] 99 preflop

i dont mind calling here, no point to really 3bet cause stack sizes are so awkward, and by 3betting this hand we are just turning this good hand into a bad one, dont achieve anything by 3betting imo,
just flat and play a flop

Re: [Sunday Million] 99 preflop

Agree with flat... if we're a little shorter effective, I would say 3-bet/call, but unless the guy's spewy (and you say he isn't), I would take the lower-variance line and see a flop getting great odds with a strong/underrepped hand.
