Hooray For Bottom Set On The Flop

[Temporary Nuts 1]

UTG is TAG, BB is retarded, and so is button$50NL full ring, 0.25/0.50 I have the table covered. I'm playing TAGish since it's full ring... slightly more passive.I'm sitting in the SB with 9 9 :diamond:UTG limps, folds to button who limps, I complete, playing for set value and planning to C-C safe flops against reasonable bets against 1 opponent. BB checks.Pot $2Flop: K 10 9 :heart:I pot it to $2, everyone calls.Pot $10Turn: 5 :heart:I swear, check, BB checks, UTG checks, Button bets $5 and has $40ish left behind, I call with my boat redraw, BB folds, UTG calls.Pot $25River: 3 :diamond:UTG bets $8.00 and has $35 more behind, button folds... I time out and fold, he didn't show :(Terrible fold?

I don't know about the fold being terrible, but you have to raise that pre-flop. Insane to see a flop with 99 along with a dozen villains.

You need to be more aggressive, reraise before flop, make pot sized bet on flop, which would be more, since you raised. It actually not a bad fold. I think the key here is that you didn't raise preflop. Never go broke on a limped hand unless you have the nuts.

Terrible fold?

Second note ... based on pot odds alone, yes.

i have absolutely no problem with completing preflop although sometimes i raise it depends on table dynamics. i have no problem with the c/c on the turn but I call the river. it's a pretty easy call being that the betting is coming from the button who had the turn checked to him.

UTG woke up and bet the river.

Mostly raise preflop, but calling sometimes is ok.Flop is fine. I probably bet the turn since the only thing that changed is that someone might've made a flush and you still have outs if they did. Check/call isn't the end of the world though.I call on the river. Half out of curiosity and half on hand strength and pot odds. It's a weird line for him to take with any hand that beats you and most of them that don't. Unless he turned the nut flush, I find it hard to believe that he was slowplaying a better hand on the turn after a bet and a call and that aspect of the hand alone makes me call here.
