The game is NL Hold em Freeroll.
Its the first hand of the game I am dealt 99 UTG.
About 4 limpers.
Flop come 9 8 2 rainbow.I bet 75 (blinds 10-20) And I get two callers.
Turn is an Ace, I check being first to act, hoping someone will have an ace, or try to make a stab at the pot. Instead everybody checks.
River is a 6. I bet 350, everyone folds except a raiser who doubles my raise. I Immediately raise all in.

He shows 10-7 for the straight. I wanted to punch my computer.



did i play this correctly? I feel like I did, but I just got unlucky because he hit his straight. Betting on the turn was surely an option, but being UTG, i wanted to entice a few betters, and then go over the top.

Getting as much money in the pot when you're ahead = Playing good.
Getting all the money in behind = Playing bad. (coolers are exceptions)

Never slow play in a free roll.

Play the whole freeroll like the last part of a real tourney...

Yea FREEROLL = "ALL IN"

in a freeroll and the ace comes and you bet first , the ace isnt going to go away , i actualy find in freerols and low limit tornis the gutshot isnt going away either

so i think definately make them pay , or at least think about paying for their draws

as it was you wouldnt be folding anywy unless an obvious 4 card straight is there?

89 is a scary flop for me with limpers , people love 10 j 98 76 etc when they can get in cheap , or even when they have to pay

just shove preflop, that guy with the T7 aint goin anywhere

Wait, you are scared of an 892 flop when you have 99?

online im scared when i have aa and the board is a 5 10 rainbow cause i know someone is sitting there with 7 9 lol oooh all in for an 8 6 im calling lol
