I like a 250 raise in this case, cuz then I can still fold to Button's shove, if I think he got me beat.

WTF the majority of the advice in this thread is plain awful.

Pushing PF here is a leak for sure. It just isn't +EV. FWIW assuming villians are all on "average range" i.e. 44+ A8+ KJ+ you should be pushing 88+,AQo+,AJs+ (6%) here, just to give you a rough idea how bad it is to push A9 or KJ here.

Raising to t250 is obv impossible cos blinds are 100/200, so please read the OP hand. A 2.5xBB raise here is like t500 and in your position I wouldn't like that, limping is also not very good, one cos you're not on the BTN so you aren't closing the play, and also notice BTN's stack, if he shoves are you gonna call or fold?

Folding PF w/ small pairs, A9 and KJ and whatever is your best move and certainly not too weak.

Oh and Rachmaninov WTF effective "M" less than 3? You have like 11xBB I don't give a rats ass what your "M" is. Learn ICM instead it's far more benefical.
