jdogg2020 has played poorly, trebling up with rags and then gifting most of it to me when i had pocket J's on a 10 high flop.... thoughts

What is your read on Centrifuge?

I would be inclined to fold here as 99 really isnt that strong with 2 people AI.

[TanO]

My read on Cent is that he's called with any two broadways since he's seen the kind of crap that jdogg has been playing

[LeFou]

suppose
9h 9s
Kd Jh Cent
As 4c jdogg

you're 38%, Cent is 34%, and jdogg is 27%

I don't think there's much reason to risk much of your stack. Opponents will knock themselves out with their own bad play before the pressure really build on you.

You have 100 in this pot right now. You want to increase that by a factor of 20 with a 4% edge?

[drmcboy]

insta fold. With loose reads maybe I gamble with JJ here.

Easy fold. You are in a good position (chip wise) already, dont start spewing chips now. A medium pocket is not the type of hand you want to call a multi-way all in with. Get pokerstove and run some possible scenarios through to get an idea.

Thanks, obviously I know fold is the easy answer, I just put this hand up as there's been two other pocket 9 examples this week

[Staple Gun]

I had a similar hand with 99 the other day, except we all had 10BB stacks, I folded after 2 others went AI expecting to be either dominaed or having to dodge 8-12 outs.
