How did i play this?

(1/3) > >>

shozboy1:
The set up is £31 NLHE FO dusktilldawn last night. I have 7000 chips, blinds are 75/150. UTG+1 raises to 600. He has a big stack of 15-20000. I was a later entrant so didn"t see exactly how he"d accumulated this, but his play is generally on the terribleish side. Lots of limping from early position with trash like K9/K8/K7/Q9/Q8/Q7/small connectors. Tends to bet the flop and quickly close down if he gets action. Raises probably 20% of the time he enters a pot, rest of time limping.
I"ve quickly accumulated nearly twice the starting stack in 30 mins or so, really just exploiting some of the other players moves, and come across reasonably solid.

Anyway, he raises to 600 from UTG+1. I look down at 99. I tank for 5-10 secs. Given my stack size I decide to flat call and take a flop in position. First raised pot I"ve played with him. Flop comes Q-6-2 rainbow. He bets out 600 into 1425. I tank for 5-10 secs, and decide to raise to 1225 - trying to induce a cheap fold. He thinks for 5-10 secs and flat calls. Turn comes another 6. He checks, I check back. River is a 5. He checks again. I feel he has something, perhaps a ragged queen (given his prev trash hands) or perhaps a pocket pair 77-1010. I decide to bet out 1400 into the 3000ish pot, and he snap calls. I show 99...

Views on how this hand was played...

deanp27:
I"d call the flop rather than raise, not really keen on raising but depends on the quality of the villain

as played check behind turn for pot control.

River is pretty sweet and depends how thinly you like to VB and what you put your opponent on during the hand.

Sensible thing would be to end the hand and check but against some villains i will put out a small bet for value

I"d have just flatted the flop and check it down. With a wild opponent the q or 2 sixes on the board anything is in his range. I"d play it small and see were I am at showdown and give us Info on what he played.  if we put in a small value bet and are raised I don"t see how we can call  except as a bluff catcher

Mikeyboy9361:
I might have been tempted to  re raise Pre, if he is raising with trash you take it down there, if he calls, then maybe he has better than what you have seen previously. As played and with his history, by flatting you are not defining his hand. After he calls your flop raise, I am checking down from here.

Marty719:
Dnt mind how u played it - 3 betting pre was an option.  Where wer u sitting?

Def dnt mind a thin v/b on the river if villain has paid off lite b4.  I think I play it the same as u against your perception of villain.
