Your on the BB in a 6-max 1/2 NLHE cash game with £200 behind and all stacks 100-200 BBs. UTG raises to £6 and is called from the button and the SB.............you look down and see 9c-9s..........wats your move?

Please only explain reasoning for this move, as we will develop further streets during the week

    I probably call, but I would need to know how the table is playing?

    I voted to call (set mine), but I'm not a cash player.

    Folding is bad obviously. A re-raise may be good on some tables, but I would expect the UTG opener to be quite strong and I'd have to fold to a 4-bet. I'd be check/folding most flops when I miss.

    Depends on what reads you have on the players and also your image.

    The way I see it, 6-handed 99 is a very strong hand, on that level of cash it is standard to raise when you come into a pot so the utg doesn't have to have a monster and the rest didn't think they were strong enough to raise with either.

    I would re-raise to about £24.

    sorry, all the players have shown ability to play with marginal holdings and capable of mixing things up post flop

    ok, the vast majority have voted to call here, obviously in the hope of hitting a set......only an uber-tight player would fold here, and to re-rasie would be risky as the players on the table are capable of coming back over the top of us, or forcing us to play our mid-pair OOP post flop........lets see the flop and hope
