    Can anyone teach my cards how to hold up?
  2. continuation bet the flop u were the initial raiser, prolly would have taken the pot down. I know its a scary board to continuation bet with 99 but put a probe bet out there like 1/4 the pot so if u get raised then its an easy fold, but most likely you would have taken the pot down. Once everybody checked the flop it seems like everyone was determined to make a move at the pot and once the dud ewith the gutty committed almost 4k in chips he was going to make the call for 2k more no matter how far behind he was cuz there was 14k already in the pot so he had to call ur allin for 2k more to win 16k so he was gettin 8-1 on his money and its a ko toureny so ppl get real loose when calling allins just to win the bountys, so there were lots of things not going you way after you checked the flop
  3. I agree. C-bet the flop. You are in position and it is checked twice to you. Fire out 1/2 pot and put some pressure on them.
  4. You played it badly is all. Yes you got sucked out on but you showed weakness on the flop. Grow a sack.
