99's gets 3 bet.
2/3 NL 8 handed,
I'm not sure how to be thinking about this spot.
Very loose UTG open limps, I am next and raise to 15 with 9s9d. It's folded to BB who raises to 60, the UTG folds. BB seems like a competent player. He's opened a decent amount pre but got no calls. He has me covered. I have 300. I have been very tight so far. We have only been at the same table for about 30 minutes. The UTG has limp folded pre several times.
I don't know what his range is but I would think it is tight. What would a tight range here look like? JJ's+ AK+? Do I consider mostly pot odds when making the call or am I deep enough to be thinking about flopping a set and stacking him? Should I be considering how this could play out post flop? For example how would I proceed if the flop comes 322 and he puts out a 3/4 pot size bet. I have position which is good. Is there a preflop 3 bet size where it should be an easy fold for me? This 3 bet size seems fairly standard. If UTG called this would be an easy call right?
They don't always 3bet with those hands because they don't raise in the first place 😉 They limp/shove. LOL.
Regardless, if I were against someone I thought of as a competent, tight player, I'd need to be deeper to call in this spot. It's just too much of my stack to basically set mine. We've played with the guy for 30 minutes -- who knows if we can "outplay" him or what his 3bet range even is?
When we raise-call a 3! with a mid PP, we aren't assuming we need to hit a set in order to win. In fact, if the raiser is so nitty that his RFI range is QQ+/AKs, we should just be dumping hands like 99 to the initial raise with others remaining to act.
Something that will blow your mind: When there is an open-raise followed by a BB 3!, the solver loves calling HU with 87s/76s/65s/54s. Of course, I'd dump these hands as well if the raiser is super nitty.

We have zero idea of what raiser has or how he plays, but our read in 30 minutes is competent and tight, which I don't want to call for that price and my stack size. You are welcome to call; I fold. Personally, I'd rather call with the suited connectors.
