Dump 99 or keep investing more in wishful thinking?
1/3 NLHE 9 handed
Table was playing tight until maniac sat down.
Maniac - He's been raising and opening a lot, limping some, playing very sticky post, betting a lot of weird hands, range is trash. 600$ BB.
HH: Maniac opens 25 over 2 limps from HJ, H just calls BTN with red TT. Heads up to Q-8-2r, V bets 25, H calls. Turn 4 ♦ ♦, V bets 45 into 100, H calls. River 2♥ V checks, H checks, V has A8o.
Girl - Tight straightforward TAG player. So ABC its ridiculous. Profitable for a few BB/hr I would guess. The kind of person who only 3-bets AK and JJ+ and mayybe some AQo/s AJs 99-JJ vs me (she sees me as wide) and check folds A-high with AK OTF (or calls one street) while betting out with overpairs, etc etc. Her hand strength is directly correlated with her bet sizes and her investment in the pot. Covers CO.
Nit - Nit is an old asian man that plays like GG. Sits there limping his butt off until he drills oil and then starts check/raising and limp/raising. A raise from this guy is the minimum something like ATss on a board like Ks-Jd-3s. 230$. MP.
---
UTG folds, H opens 9♠ 9♣ UTG+1 to 10 off a stack of about 600$, Nit calls the 10, a loose passive fish that called off half his stack earlier (60$ off 120$) with pocket 33 calls the 10$ open off a stack of about 150$ (eff stack), Girl raises to 55, Maniac cold calls the 55 from BB, H calls the 55 UTG+1, Nit call/shoves 230 total, LP fish folds, Girl folds, Maniac reshoves.
Almost all-in to call - Pot is 950, a hair under 550 for you to call.
