Ps $5 - 2 Table Sng

[monix 0]

I usually play $10 STT, and this was the first 2 table I played...not used to playing a full table with the blinds this high.Villain 1 (UTG+1) is 13.9/9 over 44 hands, and Villain 2 (BB) is 21.6/7.8 over 102 hands.Poker StarsNo Limit Holdem TournamentBlinds: t75/t1509 playersConverterStack sizes:Hero: t2710UTG+1: t1820MP1: t1840MP2: t5872MP3: t3343CO: t2690Button: t4390SB: t3610BB: t725Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is UTG with 9 9 Hero raises to t450, UTG+1 raises all-in t1820, 6 folds, BB calls all-in t575, Hero ???

That's the challenge with raising from UTG with a hand like 99 at a full table...I'm not sure what those numbers mean in terms of your read, but UTG+1 must have something to warrant a push-reraise of that size against a UTG raiser with a decent stack. BB is basically irrelevant since he can't damage your stack too much. It's possible UTG+1 is making this move with a lower PP, but more than likely he has a higher PP or overcards. If you fold you still have about 2250 chips, which leaves you with an M of 10 - not great but not terrible either. Tough one.

BB is irrelevant. 13.9 is super tight for a $5 tourney. He's reraise pushing from early position with the whole table left to act. I think you are WB here VERY often, and at best racing with AKs.I don't like it, but I probably fold. 2k is plenty of chips to work with at this level against these players.

I basically agree with what Yahkin said. At best it's AK and you're 50/50, at worst you're a 4:1 dog. I'd say it's the latter more often than the former.

Thanks guys.I normally raise from all positions with 99+, but I have to rethink that with a full table and the blinds this (or my M this low). It is probably a fold.In this hand in particular, I folded after assuming I was at best a coin-flip against UTG+1. As it turned out, he had 88 and the BB had AK. To make matters worse, the flop brought an A and a 9...At least I cashed in my first 2 table though...
