Re: 99 50+5 ft
This is bad advice and frankly weak-tight poker. The way to make and beat a final table is to take control and exploit other players with this mindset who are afraid to play poker and just shove their chips in when they have big hands. In this situation from the CO 99 is close to the top of my range, which makes me want to shove the turn.
OP, it sucks but I probably play it the same, but I think that's a leak. However, most players will check the river with as much as a weak king (K8? You said he was loose) after the little turn bet. It might be a leak to call turn and fold river but in my experience I usually make it to showdown cheap.
