I have two red 66 at this 7 handed table. I want to get rid of my $1 chips, so I open UTG to 7. I usually won't open for that size. I usually limp or raise to 15 with 55-77 and the question is not about the pre-flop. UTG+1 calls.
Cutoff (tight-ish asian player raises to 30), Button who has played maybe 3-4 hands in the past two hours (showed a set, and a flush) calls and I call. UTG+1 folds.
I started the hand with 450 and both opponents cover me.
Flop comes 622. I take around 15 seconds and lead for $40. Cutoff folds and button raises to 110.
What do you think of the lead? What is the best option now?
leading flop is best way to get value from overpairs which is in pfr range and trips which are in the other callers range.
think for a long time like you're deciding if your 99 is good then just call. if you raise he might get it in with JJ+ but he might only get it in with KK/AA and you definitely kill your action if he's got AK type hands and is trying to push you off a smaller pocket pair.
I would think for a minute then call flop then lead all turn cards (after tanking 30 seconds) for $60. this gives him 1 more chance to bluff if that's what he is doing and he's going to continue to read this as weak and shove overpairs. the only card that might kill your action is a 6, or an ace if he has KK, and they might not kill your action anyway.
just my 2c.
