PS $22 PL O/8 MTT - FT bubble donkish bustout hand

[2Fast]

Like 13 to go in a ~170-man $22....I have like t15,000 and we're 5-handed - blinds like t1600/800. Table has settled down a bit and it folds to me in LP with blinds behind and I see Q: [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] - realizing it's not the greatest hand by any means I decide that I've got some FE and can steal blinds here 9-handed + possibility of some aces still in the deck given 2 folds already = I raise the pot.

I think I know the answer (bad play with very marginal hand) and don't want to use results-oriented thinking but wondering if anyone ever pots it here in this situation as we're getting close to the FT and I have more fold equity (I think). Or if I just could have chosen a better spot. SB had like t55K and I figured he'd fold and I barely covered the BB. Maybe I've just been playing too much NL...23Q9ss seems pretty weak to be doing what I did...thx.
