Default Re: ($5) Busted out first hand with 99

your play is fine, what you must understand is that $5 dollar players are gonna do crazy ass crap like min raise 106 and then call you with no hand, this is where that money is man so just keep playing solid, if anything you could check fold the turn but that is super weak IMO, i like your line you just cant see that crap coming

I would have raised to T120 pre-flop. Is that wrong? I see many posters saying the pre-flop limp is fine.

The preflop limp is fine. OP has bad position and a middle pp. It's not very wise to be raising 120 preflop UTG+1 with 9 9 at the 15/30, especially in a $5 SNG. Limping allows you to get away from a hand like this if you see too much action (i.e. raising, reraising, and multiple cold callers) from later postions.
