Default 99 in BB: Flat call, but is there an argument for a push

25/50, stacks are all about 2000, save for mine [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

UTG raises to 150, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero has 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] with 990 left (pot 525). I called, but in retrospect, looks like a push is niiicer.

UTG's raise makes pushing suck a little bit, but I still think you have to shove here. The price is great b/c you are likely to get HU with a shove.

I think that this is a shove. U have 41% equity vs a UTG range of:88+;AJs+;AQo+, so pot odds are about break even. This is close if UTG is tight, but if he's not i think this is slightly EV+.

gotta shove it. You have nothing left to work with after a call so you are unarmed for postflop play.
