After I let out a big sigh, I call here despite knowing that we're not good here that often. I think you see a weirdly played AsXs here enough that we can call with what is already put in the pot. You're not good here most of the time though.
Also, I just call and see a flop here pre flop. At the $25NL level, I really only want to play a big pot with 99 if it hits a set. As such, I just want to see a flop cheaply and not build the pot with a reraise, sorta for the reason of the spot you find yourself in here. I'll certainly open the pot with 99 if folded to me, but I typically don't re-raise with it, despite the weird looking UTG min-raise. |

| I raise a lot preflop. I like to take the lead in hands where I can. If he had made a normal raise I would have called here but those stupid min. raisers are just begging to get raised imo. |

| Well, I still don't know how these games play so I can't really comment on PF. On the turn though, you really shouldn't be making that bet unless you're happily calling a shove. It just doesn't leave him any room to do anything but push or fold. With said I probably bet/call this turn too, but I bet a bit less to make it easier for him to shove worse. |

Well I obviously called. Just wanted input on the hand. I guess I wasn't happy to call a shove but obviously I wasn't folding. |

| I don't like the re-raise pre-flop tbh, but as played I think you have to call. I would've checked turn however. |
