Hello!I'am a profitable player at $1,5 SNG Hyper Turbo and Regular ones at PokerStars and i am also new at here!Im leaving my thoughts about your hand here so i can know the opinion from a coach of my observation.It depends of the standard raise of the villain and the reads you have on him.Also let me underline two important sittuations here:Either you fold on the flop or you will be commited when you call his re-raise on the flop.So what i mean is when you call his re-raise on the flop, why did you fold at the turn? From the moves i see from him if he didnt have the flush he represented it well!
I know it was probably badly played. I think against an unknown, the best play is bet/fold the flop. But I seem to get re-raised on the flop way too often and I just get sick of it.Similar situatian: I get AdQd with the same stacks and blinds. After my 3-bet the flop comes Kd4s8s. I cbet 1/2 pot again and unknown re-raises. I just a have tough time in these situation. I guess fold is the best.
it is totally villain dependen. Both boards you described are pretty dry and a raise doesnt not make so much sense, because most villains would flat a valuehand. The big difference between the hands is your equity. With the 99 you have only 2outs against a higher pair, and even overcards and draws have good equity against you. With the AQ you have 3 or 6 outs and a backdoorflush and straight draw. So bascically I think there are arguments for folding the 99 and shoving the AQ, but still it depends totally on your opponents, but maybe you can think of the described factors when you are in this situations.
