    I have had this spot happen to me three times in the past two days playing and wanted to get the opinions of others as the correct play.

    Mid - Earl position dealt a Pocket Pair like 99 - JJ seat to the right open raises ..... and bet's pot on the flop.

    So i have been calling the pre flop raise and after missing my Set of 99's or JJ's the first person to act bet's the pot.... I am assuming they have a premium hand of some sort and have been folding. I just hate to think i am folding to a AK who missed the flop, but am worried i would be calling into a QQ -AA... Is there a different way of thinking i can take at this type of spot.?

    Is villain active?
    -Is he a 23-year-old online guy who's opening heaps of pots?
    -Is he a 60-year-old man who's played three hands in five hours?

    What's flop texture?
    -Is he c-betting pot into a 876 two-heart board? QQ5 board?

    So many factors need to be considered, you need to be more specific. This "recurring spot" can be completely different each time it happens.

    Hey man Sorry for the lack of info... I want to say in the most recent occasion it was like a 2 9 4 rainbow... no over cards, just a big pot bet from the PF raiser and i would say the player has not really been very active. .... as far as the age of the player goes.... Do 60 year olds really play online poker ? I thought they were all in the brick n Mortar casinos complaining that every online site is a cheat :) .... Big Fan of Bend Oregon to BTW ... You going to Brew Fest out in Portland on july 28.

    dude it it is pretty hard to give advice without more situational info, but if you have 99 and the flop come 942, then you are in pretty good shape. :)

    seriously though, assuming you both have $300 and it is 1/2. Opening bet for $12, you call and tightish guy leads out for $27 on on a 942 flop and you have an over pair in position my stanadrd play is call and revaluate on the turn; even nits are going to C-bet into that pot.

    You do need to add more info, this game is very dynamic.

    this

    you can't just put him on QQ-AA if he cbets pot on the flop and fold your 99-JJ lol. that's a no-brainer. ofcourse, the turn is another story.

    All depends on the player as people have said and your history with him/his history with others. You can't just assume he has you beat, because you opened early and cbet. Then, there's different flop textures. In general you shouldn't be afraid to call flop bets, especially on dry flops or pair'ed board flops.

    Yeah from what you've said if you have an overpair then you're not really folding here. Calling or reraising depending on how active the initial raiser and your reads that you should already have on him.
