Some things you should know i am 8 hands into the session 6 of my first 8 hands. I was getting good cards and was playing them very aggressively. Definitely had a very aggressive image. Also i have never played this player before.

Should i have played the hand? Should i have called the reraise? I checked the flop hoping for a c-bet, then i called his bet instead of reraising him because i didnt want to show too much strength, is that completely wrong here? what do i do next?! At this point i wasnt worried about a 9 really, but i thought JJ or 1010 was very possible as well as AA and KK maybe QQ

I fold preflop. This is because if we call preflop and are hoping for a set, we aren't getting the right odds. If we call and hope to somehow outplay our opponent who 3bet us light based on our image, then we should have probably 4bet preflop. However 4betting is probably spew because:

Villain 3bet a UTG raise which is probably really strong in FR
We don't have any reads on villain nor how he perceives us

As played i'm raising this flop. CO probably has a big pair/AK and we can probably stack him on the flop. If he has JJ oh well. I highly doubt he has TT because I don't really see people 3betting TT often, but I don't know. But yeah, try to get it in asap
