Is this a joke?

I want to improve so I will ve very happy if you explain me all the mistakes I made.

I would be hard pressed to push this pf,A9 isnt a hand that plays well oop.As played u cant fold in my opinion,u beat most Aces(since higher aces mostly raise pf) and the draws so push over his min raise.

I engage half of my stack so I have now 3 to 1 odds (since if I don't fold I will finish allin for sure). The question is, Am I winning this hand more than 25% of the time ? And it's obvious but, during that hand, I was guessing that I was beaten ...
Looks terrible I understand.

Shoving preflop is fine, as played it's a pretty tight laydown and I'd probably just get it in after investing such a large portion of my stack.

You don't have to follow the "10 BBs" as a rule (I hope you know what that is). This is not a spot to play poker. Just push it in PF, or give it up (nitty). Readless, I strongly urge pushing.

I know it.
I agree with a push.

I wouldn't push pre but im pushing this flop.

I'm just wondering; folding this pf is better, then push, right?
