99 oop vs house lag

How can he ask for a count of your stack? Unless you went all in that's the only time he's entitled for a count.

With alil over 100 BB's deep and OOP with a LAG OTB, I would flat pre but that's just me. 3betting will just shut down the lag (or do what most lags to which is call which leaves us with 99 OOP vs flops with over cards the majority of the time). If we get lucky and flop a set vs him we can get the rest of his stack easily.

As played (I didn't even look at the hand yet and I now see this is exactly what I was referring to) when he asked for "counts", it's usually a set mine hand from my experience. The flop is dry so expect him to call but I would bet around 45.

Preflop if you are 3betting from SB and BB need to go bigger than the standard 3x because you don't want to pay rake and don't want to play post flop OOP. Once flop comes I check and see his sizing.

Also in low stakes if the table/player is usually opening the larger 5x-7x BB preflop and then suddenly makes it 10 from late position it's indicative of a completely dogwater hand like 34s so is the just call behind, so I wouldn't worry too much about running into better

Pre is fine, could go bigger but 4x+caller is fine imo

Flop check or bet 33% is fine

I like the 3bet preflop.

Postflop, there are multiple lines that could be good with this hand. But against loose aggressive players, I like betting small on the flop and check calling down.

I like our seat position (at the very least not being OOP to the pro most hands).

I don't want to play a big pot OOP to the pro. Nor do I want to blow the fish out of the pot. So I just flat and ~setmine / play some postflop poker. I'm sure some will argue for what line is more EV (good luck showing the maths) but I don't think there is any doubt which line will create far more difficult decisions for big $$$, so I'm not sure why we're taking that line (especially in the midst of our big downswing and likely fragile mental state).

As played I probably make a small bet and go from there.

H bets 40, V calls

Turn 180 (310 back) - J♥ 5♥ 4♠ T♠

H checks, V bets 175, Hero?

Preflop this is just a call. We dont need to 3bet 99, we'd rather hit a set or win at showdown. If you had like 77 or JJ I could get on board with a 3bet since they either bink or hold on their own. 99 is kinda in that grey area where you dont want to get 4bet but you also dont want to play a big pot OOP barreling off like you are doing.

That said if I ever did 3bet in this spot I'm just checking flop to see what they do. Not folding to a probe but still checking. I cant offer what to do on this turn the way you've played since we're beating nothing and nothing is bluffing. I guess just x/f.

yeah idk. i think squeeze is higher ev than call with this particular pre set up but think its small difference either way. turn sizing doesnt really look like you're beat tbh, although is obviously fold in theory

Result: I folded turn, just wanted to know what people thought. He said he had a big draw but who knows.

Played fine. Turn I could get on board with calling the big bet on this scary looking board but absolutely nothing wrong with folding, that's probably what you're supposed to do, and I'd probably have done the same
