I played this hand during a poker stars Weekly Rewards freeroll. I played in the one the week before and did miserably and my only other experience with PKOs are watching streamers on Twitch.

Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP+2: 1.88 BB
CO: 18.63 BB
BTN: 24.71 BB
SB: 4.71 BB
BB: 52.51 BB
UTG: 6.6 BB
UTG+1: 3.51 BB
MP: 41.83 BB
Hero (MP+1): 43.05 BB

9 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.62 BB) Hero has 9:spade: 9:diamond:

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.36 BB, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 4.59 BB and is all-in, BB raises to 52.38 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 40.56 BB and is all-in

SB shows K:heart: K:spade: (Two Pair, Kings and Tens)

Main Pot [14.89 BB]: (Pre 58%, Flop 73%, Turn 83%)

SB wins 14.89 BB
BB wins 76.67 BB


Is 99 a hand I should be calling wither here? Chip leader should be iso'ing the bounty with pretty much anything above 22?

My though process at the time was I have a good PP, I have a chance to get a bounty, as I said big stack at the table will be trying to iso with a wide range for the opener's bounty and I know that I can't take chip stack's bounty by winning this hand but if I had won it puts me in a really good position to go hunt his bounties as he probably has a few from his stack size. (Unfortunately in the freeroll it doesn't show you what villain's bounties are)

Is 99 in my calling range here or is it too weak given the size of stack that jammed?

As always, your thoughts are much appreciated :cool:

Easy fold here for me. Pocket nines are nice but 3 way into a 4 bet pot, we are if luck ahead of over cards and worse behind a bigger pocket pair. Pocket 9's just does not do well 3 way and considering you still have 40+BB if you fold makes it an easy fold.

Preflop raise is correct but if BB see your bet, and 3-bet all - in and shove all - in with 52BB your call range is only QQ (and it will be difficult decision too) at least, AKs (even AQs I would fold) you have deep stack and comfortable play. I would never call here with 99.

99 or TT standard raise in middle. Calling these guys who are wagering their massive leads on your raise of less than 3BB is telling you they have something bigger.

I let it go.

If I've seen villain isolate like this in the past with less than premium holdings then I am calling. Without such a read I think this is a fold.

Thank's for your contributions everyone. Next time I'll make sure I play this spot tighter. I think I got stuck fantasizing about the hands villain COULD have had that would have won me the bounty not villain's likely holdings. I won another ticket in the chest I unlocked yesterday so I'm hoping to have more luck and make smarter plays tomorrow!

Thanks again!
