BB villain: brand new to table. Late 30's, early 40's middle-eastern man, maybe a Turk or Armenian. $500eff

Limper villain: $200, playing poorly and on tilt. Will likely spew entire range if facing post flop weakness. Might slow down to post flop aggression against Hero w/ anything below top pair.

Limper V limps in EP, a few more limps (not the clearest recollection, I think there were 3 limps total), Hero $35 in SB w AA, BB calls, EP calls.

Flop $109

QQ9 rainbow.

Hero checks, BB checks, Villain $45, Hero calls, BB $145, fold, [B]Hero?[/B] Seems like this is a commitment move, so is this a fold? Should we be C-betting flop here? I was hopping BB would fold and I'd let EP hang himself, or shove most rivers if checked through on turn.

Preflop I tend to size up raising from the blinds and I'd prefer $40 or $45, although it's a really small point.

Flop is interesting whether to bet or check. I lean towards betting into your avg 2/5 field and vs the description of both villains. I think there's value from 9x, SDs, low pp etc. Also, one of your villain's is short stacked, and on tilt. So, bet flop. $55 seems good. Looking to jam any turn if called by the short stack.

The main benefit to checking flop is you get to call down vs their bluffs, but if they aren't bluffing enough (which they almost assuredly aren't) then it becomes less attractive.

As played I fold and try to forget about the hand.

I agree bet flop, but not more than $35.

AP you're dealing with an unknown getting aggro after checking against a short stack and pfr call, pretty strong stuff so I fold.

Fold and don't show anyone.

5/5 isnt spread where i live, but i imagine it plays similar to 2/5. That being said, this line by V is almost never a Qx or 99. I think worst case is you are up vs something like JT.... also in my games Vs description weights his range more heavily towards air.

Pretend you are V and holding AQ... is that how you would play it? I would be trying to atleast get all of limp v's stack... blowing him off his air is probably not the way i would play it.

bet flop, as played, call/shove... i think your hand is underreped here.
