NL10 99 bluff raise turn

Hi!

Im a new member at this forum, and i hope to learn one thing or two from the great players around here. :)

Im posting my first hand and asking some doubts:

http://weaktight.com/5786446

I decided to call preflop with pocket nines. The villain is a regular who cbets 54% flop, 67% turn. I have 330 hands history of him. I decided to call flop and when he bet the turn i got an idea. He could easily have Qx or Tx in his hand but i could see that in the turn the nuts were J9 to a straight. So i had this idea of bluff raising him in position to make him fold any better hand. He tought for about 10-15 seconds and shoved allin. I had an easy fold.

But my question is, i still think i made a good play in the turn, it just didnt work, maybe he had a set or he didint believe my story. I have 99 who has many blockers to the nut J9 combo in the turn,  and i thought i had pretty good chances of him folding. I almost never have this "creative lines" but i felt i had chances for it to work here.

What do you think?

Your play doesn't look too bad since you picked up the 4 straight outs and the 9 might be clean if you bink that too, although if you catch the 9 it will be an action killer or kill you.  He could also call or fold a draw and you can just show down the 99.  It looks ok to me, the only thing I'm wary of is that his c-bet % isn't really high, so he's getting to the turn with a stronger range.   If you didn't pick up outs on the turn I wouldn't normally pick 99 to raise the turn with, only 2 outs worth of equity.

Fold the flop. Your underpair is crap, he shouldn t be c betting this with his whole preflop range. Also his c bet % is only 54% so far (small sample though fwiw). As played OTT idk I don t really like the bluff. Its good your looking for this sort of idea but I think this is too ambitious and on such a board he s unlikely to fold any made hands.

+1, flop float is going to be pretty bad given that it's two tone and you don't have a BDFD, villain doesn't continuation bet the flop a ton, and he bets tons of turns.

Well, most of the time im folding the flop. Here i decided to float him and yes, maybe his cbet is not as high to try this play, although the sample size isn't so big to have reliable numbers.

It's good that you're looking for spots to float but try to do it hands that can pick up equity or nut up on turns/ rivers. A hand like 99 won't be able to take much heat here and rarely picks up much equity (when it does it likely helps villain's range too). Also, when looking for opportunities to float look for guys who continuation bet widely but don't bet a ton on the later streets so that you're likely to have a chance to take the pot away from them.

good thinking but in the wrong spot like James said..as his cbet is very low the float is gonna work less often and part 2 : he is cbetting on a very drawy flop which he is gonna cbet way less likely OOP if he has nothing, so the float against this opponent isn't good.
