1/2 zoom. Bit of a tricky spot.

Actually us having TT or JJ here OTT is worse imo, true we have blockers to straights, but now we don't block 9 sets Villian could have. We also lose now to KK-AA. But imo this problem all comes down to game past game dynamics, reads and leveling etc. Readless with no history I would bet b/f turn and feel okay. If called I would shove all rivers.

Thoughs?

99 and 88 are pretty unlikely when he doesn't raise such a wet board deep. By the turn its virtually impossible for him to have KK or AA since he didn't 4bet preflop or raise the flop.
