I don't like the way I played this hand. 3-bet is fine but what should I do versus min 4-bet? should I just call for setmining? I decided to 5-bet and he called =\ what should I do on this flop? should I play check/fold? I was planning that he would shove on my 5-bet, but he didn't, does that mean that he has nuts smth like KK+?

Hero (BB): $50 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9 9
SB raises to $1, Hero raises to $3, SB raises to $5, Hero raises to $15, SB calls $10

Flop: ($30) K T 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $35 and is all-in, SB calls $35

Turn: ($100) 3 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($100) 5 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

$100 pot ($1 rake)
Final Board: K T 7 3 5
Hero showed 9 9 and won $99 ($49 net)
SB showed Q J and lost (-$50 net)

I don't like spoilers but this would help with understanding with further decisions

Hi blumpkin

Are you 5-bet/calling a shove or are you turning your 99 into a bluff? Clearly we shouldn't turn them into a bluff.

And as played your shove makes no sense on the flop. I doubt you ever have FE versus better and you could get called by worse occasionally (as here) but I think you are better off betting smaller (if you bet at all).

I'm 5-bet calling a shove.
I have no idea what should I have done on the flop ?(
should I just call pre?

I know that it's bad when you don't have plan for the game. I should just call pre. and I should just play check fold on this flop as nice hand pre became total junk on the flop

Unfortunately this type of hand will see a lot of bad flops where we do have to give up. Even the hand he called with has a lot of equity vs us.
