20k: 99 approaching first bubble

[kenny7]

I know you have no reads on table,but you are approaching bubble,and that means the same thing every time,people are playing supertight. That's why I think the 2k raise is fine. Yes,I see the arguments against it,but the fact is,at this stage,preflop raises usually takes it down.

Also,looking at the stacks behind you,they are not going to call,they'll either fold or shove,and again,at this stage of the tourney,if someone shoves,you are definately behind his range.

It's either this or just open-shove... Raising to 2K is fine if you intend to call/shove any re-raise. But I would really hate getting a call and see a flop with 2 overcards.

by pre-flop open-shoving -- we're hoping just to get
everyone to fold, right?

i'm thinking, we can expect calls from TT+, AT+...
at which point, we're 50% to win or worse.

i like the 2K raise... then push with no overcards...
