Two players on my table were flaming me for the following play.
I am in SB with a $50 stack. MP has a $60 stack and button has about $40. I get 99. MP limps, button raises pot. My read was that the button raised because MP played a lot of hands; also, the button was pretty aggressive in late position with hands like AJ.
I thought that calling would be a bad play, since I would have no idea what to do when any T-A would flop, so I decided to reraise the pot (to about $11) and hopefully take it there. Now MP flat calls and button reraises allin.
What do you do? I folded, since I figured that it would be very unlikeliky that both of them have AK type of hands. MP called a reraise cold, and after that a rereraise allin? After my fold MP begins to curse at me, saying that if my hand was good enough for a reraise then it should also be good enough to call the allin. Then MP folded as well, still cursing me. Any thoughts?

I would never make that play with 99, but I wouldnt worry about what people say to you at the table. MP was just mad that he couldnt see a flop with whatever junk he had.

I assume they dont know that you had 99. I might the make the play you made with QQ. Reraising with QQ can be a good play but if the raiser goes all in, I would probably fold it depending on who the opponent was, so just because you reraised then folded doesnt mean anything. Ignore the trolls.

This is not at all they way I would play 99. A reraise here puts you in a bad postion, you are either going to win a smallish pot if they both fold or you are going to play this pot with a weak draw and with 9's there is a large chance that there will be at least one more likely 2/3 overcards on board. The play here is to play your 9's for set value, call his raise and take a flop, if you flop a set there is a good chance that one of them will lose their stack. If the flop miss's you it is an easy fold. Your major problem with your raise is there is almost nothing that someone would reraise with that you have dominted and there are a lot of hand that have you dominated.

Just to clarify: this is not how I would normally play 99. The button was raising many hands in LP. Took down quite a number of pots by raising pf and betting the flop, because the table was a bit tight-passive. MP was playing way too many hands, and I though that the button was raising mainly to get it heads up with MP. The button was dominating the table, and I felt that a reraise would slow him down. I was pretty sure that he would fold (and couldn't imagine MP calling a reraise after limping), since I put him on AJ, KQ or something alike. Maybe this was a bad idea, or I just was unlucky to execute it when the button had a kings or aces.
