I like it as played - I'm not crazy for a PF push with this action. You're probably facing a mid pair from MP2 and possibly MP3. I like seeing the flop and pushing when you get what you want - as it happened. NH.

the Problem is, that u spend more than 10% of your stack here, the odds are percet yes and u are IP but i would shove here and maybe i get 1 caller and MAYBE its a coinflip with a good pot of dead money

I don't mind the PF action at all. It disguises your hand nicely and also lets you get away from the hand if nothing hits.

I would of course put MP2 on a set of nines here - but I am nit-like quite often and always put opponents on the nuts or close to it. But in all honestly, I can see MP2 holding a bad Ace right here very easily. I guess a push is your only option, really.

Yah. Seeing the flop to re-evaluate is much worse than pushing PF IMO. There's t425 in the pot, you have FE and the overlay makes a coinflip profitable, at least almost. Hitting TP means you have to go with the hand. Easy push, if you're beat you're beat, nothing you can do about it.

Pushing PF also means you don't have to make anymore decisions in the hand. Sometimes you'll make the wrong decision on the flop and that's obv not good. Pushing is easy and lotsa fun, just do it.
