A really cool hand I played

ok to elaborate since I saw Greg mention it as well, 99 should not shove here. In a perfect world where he knows Greg has a marginal hand yes it becomes a good shove.

However, Greg's range here is like 90% air/monster... meaning a shove by 99 is -EV for the obvious reason that Greg folds his air and instacalls monsters. He rarely has a hand like 88.

It's range versus range. Shoving 99 is good only against a tiny part of Greg's range but awful versus the rest.

So using this reasoning, how is 99 different from say QQ? Is this because you think he instacalls TT/JJ? Those hands seem to be the only issue because we're flipping AK regardless of our pair and obviously getting crushed by KK/AA. I guess what I'm wondering is what constitutes a monster?
