Default Re: Shortstacked 99 in big blind facing raise

[ QUOTE ]
I don't think you have fold equity here and with an M-7 you've got a tough decision. You'd rather be the first in with a big raise of push here but you've got a pretty good hand right now. If you call and fold on the flop, you're in pretty bad shape so I either push all in or fold here with a lean towards going all in. Tough situation and it comes up often for me. I'd be interested in reading the other responses. What did you do and how'd it work out.

I don't think I have folding equity. Partly because of his pot odds, partly because of my image. When I first got to the table I pushed two hands in a row, I think he was one of the blinds for one or both of those two times, so he probably noticed.

If I don't have folding equity PF, and I'm not folding, I think calling and pushing any flop is what I should do. Please let me know if I'm incorrect about this (e.g. the flop push would be a bit of an overbet).

If I'm correct about the stop-and-go, the real question is whether or not folding is right. It almost seems it's so close that either would be fine.
