Flipping? What's that exactly?I'm a new player and don't know the therms of poker yet.It's a halfway decent pair, so if you feel good about flipping you've got a better than 50/50 chance of beating AK or AQ and of course any other pairs 88 and below IF you can get one player all-in. You don't want to be playing it for stacks pre-flop against more than one player or any really tight players (who are only going to go all-in with AA, KK & maybe QQ).

+1 for post of the daySince you are begginer i will try to explain you the easiest way...If you have big or decent stack and you are first to act preflop reise 2.5x or 3x and if 3-4 or more people call your reise and flop comes something like A,Q,2 or J,10,5 etc.. just give it up dont bluff(maybe call one small bet on some boards) co its big chance that somone hits something and your bluff needs to get throught 4 or more people..If you get only one or two callers you can fire a bet on the flop (if you hit 9 for value,if board doesnt have card bigger then 9 or somtimes only 1 card bigger then nine also for value,if board is scary for your 99 you can still try to take down the pot becouse your bet only needs to get throght one or two guys).If somone opens preflop before you and you have 99 and decent stack its litle diffrent..If somone has opend from early position i dont mind just calling with 99 becouse people often open strong hands from early positions ..If somone has opend from cutoff,button or small blind positions you can 3bet them preflop or even go all in if their stack is a lot smaller then you.Also if you opend with big stack and other big stack 3bet you dont go crazy and push it all in,,becouse you have big stack he has big stack there is no need to gamble..If short stack go all in to your open you can take that gamble becouse it will not cost you much and you have decent hand(ofc you can fold if you have some read on that guy that is so tight)..And when you have short stack just go all in with 99 if you are first to speak..Also if somone opens before you from early positions, and you are sure he is not tight player who only opens very strong hands from early positions all in is also profitabile.And when somone opens from positions like cutoff,button,small blind always go allin with 99 if you are short stack.I hope i help a litile
Glad i helped mate.Yeah i was also overplaying like that nines many times.. gl+1 for post of the day
thanks, so I've been doing this wrong many times...
Welcome to the forum. I think the best thing to do here is to forget your question, because soon you open another topic asking how to play with 33. I can suggest that you see the format you play 6max 9handed and learn the recommended hands of pre-game. opening the flop. After that, you'll understand one thing. example in mtt if a player opens 99 at the beginning of a utg tournament you save this information. then you see that same player open 55 in the same situation, now you already know that this player is very loose and thanks to his initial hands learning. and pay close attention to it also if you're opening 22+ preflop hands, then it's time to know that those who pay attention will exploit it. In short, I think it is good to learn what is recommended forHy everybory! I'm a beginer and Idon't know how to play 99 pre flop.What advises can you give me?
What a comment!
