MP2 is passive.

i make it 300 to go here and see what happens. If BB pushes and MP2 shoves behind, im folding. But if we can get him heads up ill play this hand from this position against a passive player all day long. C-bet if he checks to you even with overcards on the flop. If he doesnt pair you'll take it down.

Standard shove. Futuredoc you're line is good if you like crippling yourself.

Ummm, Hero has 22 BBs. Pushing is really bad. I've been limping along in situations like this. Thoughts?

[Jay Riall]

Sorry, misread stack sizes. Futuredoc's got it spot on.

I don't like raising t300. If you are going to raise make it 350-400 otherwise muck.

Mucking this is horrible. Pushing this is horrible. Limping this is pretty bad.

Raise to t350/t400.

i usually just limp it. whats so bad about that?

[lastchance]

It's not that bad, it's just that I think raising is better when on the button holding a hand like 99. Gets rid of blinds, gains value out of weaker hands, allows for some nice position play.
