I still don't think I would have CB here if it weren't so short-handed by the time we see the flop. I also feel like my 99 makes the one serious draw very unlikely, also speaking for a CB. Anyhow, the only serious draw on this board has to have a 9T in it, and I have two of the nines.
On dealing with the c-r, I'm way behind to JJ and AA but don't consider AA likely. I'm also pretty far behind to lower sets, but I at least have 4 outs on those, and I'm not going to have to go very deep to find out what he has. Basically, the risk is relatively small, villain is over-aggressive, and I feel like I'm either a little ahead or a little behind most of the time. By that point, it only costs me $17 or so for a shot at a pot of almost $90.
Here's the hand:

The main reason I'm posting this is that I feel like I have a lot of work to do on what I like to call "scrappy pots," where I don't have much of a hand but it's still worth taking a shot at.Statistics: Posted by Aisthesis — Sat Aug 19, 2006 6:23 pm
