You made the right move. After the second raise you couldn't call that hand without being all-in on flop.
You can't blame yourself for not giving bad beats.

[PLAYFUL1]

Yes you did make the right move butt pocket 9s are much better than pocket 8s....lol

[villaridge]

Me, I woulda gone all-in. But thats me and pocket 99. BAD VILLARIDGE

[sin2win]

^^^^ lol
yea def a good fold, good folds somtimes hit, nothing u can do about it.

[indyohm]

good play. But we all know the right play doesn't necessarily win. But if you continue playing like that then in the long run you will win!

[gav79]

I think you definatly played it the right way after the a re raise, with pocket 9s I would flat call first or call a small raise as long as it wasnt contested by a re raise by another player.. here are so many overcards that can kill you on the flop and if you call the re raise you are virtually pot commmited and therefore forced to go all in even with overcards out there in front of you, I noticed there was no overcards but that was an example and obviously if someone re raises like that you have got to put them on PP KK, AA Or at a push but not likely AK suited..

All round I would of folded, I have folded Qs in the same situation before, just to stay on the bubble, well KK for that matter as I wanted to at least cash out after playing for 3-4-5 hours solid.

Good choice and keep it up, you will win more than you lose playing this way
