Long time live NLHE player but finally decided to join 2+2!
So a few days ago I was in a super loose aggro 1/2 live game with a $5 straddle almost every single round. The avg. stack is around $250, there are a couple of short stacks (~$50) and I'm sitting on $500
I'm in the hijack position with 9
9
and limp in to a $17 pf raise with 6 other callers.
Flop comes K
4
9
The big blind bets $20, UTG goes all in for $43, 2 players after him call. When it comes around to me I re-raise to $200. Everyone else folded.
The board ran out and my set of 9's held up.
I invested $60 and won ~$260.
Is this the correct play here? I was worried about the flush draw and wanted to get them out of the pot. Or Should I have raised smaller to induce another call and not worry about the flush? Was there a way to extract more value out of the hand?
Can you please explain if this is the correct/incorrect play?
Sorry if this post is poorly written - this is my first post!
