    Default 99 in a weird flop. Can I call here??

    No read on Villain. Is it possible to call here? I bet really strong pre-flop and pos-flop, I guess he is telling me I´m beat...Any chance he is doing this woth a small pocket pair or a bluff?

    I'd tend to think I'm ahead, his limp after the UTG limps for me screams of a lower pair 22 - 88 hoping to his set. Whether I'd call i'm not sure depends I guess if I was in a gambling mood. Obv he could have the other Queen but thats the only card im fearing without a read unlikely he has a higher pair than nines without re-raising pre or after your BB raise, then again if he's calling your bet he must have something, AQ, KQ, JQ maybe.

    Interesting spot. Most opponents won't fastplay Qx here, especially when in position. I'd put him on something like AJ or 66 here and call...
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    Villian has a pair, most likely. Not sure what pairs limp/call like that pre-flop. People do trap with KK/AA pre-flop ike this, althlough with the uncrackable near-nuts I would not expect a flop push.

    99 is probably a call, but 77 might be a fold. TT/JJ is certainly a call.

    Thanks for the answers. I think I made a mistake here. I folded my hand. I think it was +EV to call.

    his flop line suggests he's afraid of a call.

    the only notes i had on this player were that he played AA aggressively in the past. i think the preflop and the flop are ok. i think maybe i should raise on the turn. maybe not though - calling keeps the pot smaller. if he then raises i can maybe fold. actually i'll be committed if i raise. his minbet suggests maybe AK.
    i think i should probably fold the river. i acted to quickly

    what do you think?

    I like just calling the turn/river here. After his 3bet preflop it looks like he has JJ+ here a lot of the time. That river bet make it look a lot like AA looking to get paid off and you could possibly find a fold.
