Default $60 looking at two all-ins with 99

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1240)
UTG+1 (t5815)
CO (t3745)
Button (t675)
Hero (t965)
BB (t1060)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t1240 (All-in)</font>, UTG+1 calls t1240, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds,</font> Hero..?

reads: utg was money_1985. pretty solid, probably pushing reasonable stuff here, i feel i'm probably ahead of his range.

utg+1 was one of those bigstack donks, i don't really give him much credit here.

thoughts?

Eh, I guess I shove it in. Not really all that thrilled about it, though.

What makes you think Money has a wide range UTG with 8+BB? I guess this is probably a call with your stack size. But I'd expect to be dominated or "racing" against 3-4 overs much of the time.

i never said his range was wide. i said it was "reasonable". whatever that means.
66+,ATs+,AJo+, maybe throw a few other hands in there.

I hit the fold button pretty fast here. UTG doesn't HAVE to push yet so his hand is probably resonable, especially being the first of 6 people. You also have a call to deal with, so assuming you're ahead of both hands, you still have to hold up against them. I don't know what you're really hoping to see when they flip their hands. 2 AK's or something? An AK and a KQ and you lose more often than not.

Yeah but hero is pretty desperate here. And a triple up gets him healthy real quick.

I'll take 3 overs at 45% with the pot odds and my current stack size. You'll see an overpair a little too often but sometimes you'll see an underpair given his reads. Although, like I said, I'm not too thrilled about it.

i would call and then lose, but you should be ahead of both of their ranges.

With the UTG+1 call, I think I fold this. TT, though, I definately shove.

i'd toss this. i think you're only marginally ahead of the first pusher, and even if the second guy is loose, he's going to have a big pair a lot. and you're getting almost no overlay from the blinds b/c you're the small and there are no antes. TT i'd probably play though.
