Going to share the bad here, too. Not pretty and not happy with this obviously, had a ton of BB and didn't need to bust here.
But here's our logic (and why this usually works). We haven't RR anything like this literally all day. Table image is TIGHT. Guy with 99 is RR frequently preflop (hence not just a call pre - our raise is trying to induce a shove from the short stack or take it down preflop). Short stack snap mucked so fast the second he saw me reaching for chips (that's how tight our image is here).
99 just calls and looks uncomfortable about it. Put him on TT/JJ.
Continue on flop, repping KK/AA, which he tanks for over a minute. He looks very uncomfortable and we know this is definitely not a hollywood'ed set, so not TT. Almost finds a fold, but clearly wants to see one more card.
Turn, we have to jam or quit on the hand. Decide that since we're sure he doesn't have a set, and we should look like AA, we need to rip it here, it'll be hard for JJ to call.
Tanks two minutes, but finds a call obviously thinking he's got outs with the SD.
If he doesn't turn that SD, we take down a massive pot. And if he doesn't look so weak every street, we don't continue with this bluff.
Shitty way to go out, but this is how we scraped back from 12k in the first place - finding spots where they are weak and taking advantage.
