Fold, you have more than 10BB you do not need to take a coinflip. You also have no idea what people behind you will do either. This is far too weak a hand to call a push from UTG.

folds...

He is pushing 17BB into you here I don't think you should even be considering calling with 99 in this spot. Also he is UTG which is supposed to make his range a little tighter...not sure if that really applies in this case since most people shoving 17BB are donks.

That was my thought process, how good can his hand be open pushing UTG into 6 other people, I figure his range is pair 22-TT, AJ+ maybe KQs, I dont have SNGPT to see if someone can take a peak for me?

On that range, SNGPT puts it at +2.1%. Even add in JJ+ and its still positive +.6%.

Dude, honestly, I think this is very, very wrong. This is AK or TT-JJ a WHOLE bunch of the time because donkeys hate playing those hands postflop. In any case, there's no reason to get involved.

Fold.

Don't be ridiculous, there's absolutely NO way it's that wide unless he sucks royally. In which case there's far better spots than this.

I'll make a disclaimer saying I've never played anything below a $60.

I'd fold this, as any sane person wouldn't push this many chips in UTG with a worse hand than 99.

However, I dunno about the sanity level at 22s.

I'd fold this. You'll get a better spot.
