Two nines in the big blind
This hand happened at the final table. My opponent UTG is a very strange player. I had him at 15 VP$IP/0 PFR over about 100 hands. I never saw him raise, and I really didn't remember him winning any pots. Honestly, I have no idea how he was still in the tournament with this style of play.
Anyway, I know he must be limping with some hands that are actually worthy of a raise. However, I have to like 99, especially as the short stack in a five-handed game. I felt I had to raise preflop here. It seemed like a good flop for two nines. I honestly don't really know where my opponent is. On the other hand, I'm not going to check 99 with just one overcard. With my stack, I felt I had one move. I made it. This seems pretty standard, but with such a nitty weird opponent, I thought there might be some different schools of thought on how to play this hand.
