1/2nl 35 BBs to me PF w/99... but I think I have options
 

Note the stack sizes. UTG is 28/7 after 40 hands, button is a new guy. I don't usually limp 99 here but it's an occasional thing.

I don't think UTG minraises here with a monster pair, I think he would either smooth call to get me in or push to get me in by thinking he wants me out... minraise for almost 2/3 his stack seems like he genuinely wants to isolate, maybe with a big ace (potentially TT/JJ but I think that's a small part of his range). As far as the button goes, pretty rare to see a minstack push AA without a prior raise at 1/2 these days, I think all underpairs are possible as are a lot of coinflip hands. I think there's a good chance they both have Ax. Agree/disagree anyone?

Hand 1 is my range for button, Hand 2 for UTG... which player do you think is significantly tighter than this that makes this a definite fold?

[/ QUOTE ] ridiculous range. just fold. raise the first time it's your turn.

To clarify I think his range is closer to JJ+/AQs+/AKo
