$6.5 - A9 UTG 5 handed, big stack l5

[mattiesmat]

What to do with A9 here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) by Hand Converter CG

MP (t985)
Button (t3125)
SB (t355)
BB (t4855)
Hero (t4180)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero ??, 4 players left to act.

I would raise to 450 to pressure the SB. If BB reraises, you can let it go, but he's not going to get involved with a stack that can cripple him without a hand that is way ahead of you.

Unless Button or BB or big winners (about >20%ROI) or really morons, raise/fold it. Otherwise just fold.
