Call, fist-pump, shove over all turn bets. So many smaller pairs do this.

Also, 3-bet bigger.

Alright thanks. I need to learn 3b sizing still I usually just hit the pot button. I ended up pushing on the flop and getting called by a 96. So calling and pushing the turn is better than just trying getting it in on the flop?

Just call and shove on the turn regardless of the villain's action. As you say he has a 9, but his play is still bad as there are no enough implied odds for him to call your preflop.

Yeah, if he's bluffing because "it's hard to have anything on that board" it allows him to continue to do so. Also, most of his hands have only 2 outs against us. So we'll take a slightly weaker line that will allow him to feel more confident stacking off.

3-bet sizing, you should take into account the size of the pot, but also the stack to pot ratio that you want, and also how big a bet your opponent will call. At these levels, the bad players call huge 3-bets all day long.

I agree with calling the raise here but not sure i would willingly put my chips in on the turn by shoving because we got value by our aces thus far. So i would be calling the flop raise and checking the turn with intentions to call any bet. If turn is checked then i would not mind value betting the river for value. So definitely not folding this to the flop raise.:rolleyes:
