I'll be fascinated by the responses on this.

Imho I like it. There are very few hands in his range that he can confidently call with, other than improbable sets, of which 99 is by far most likely.

I usually just limp AQ behind at this blind level. As played, the bet is double pot so I'm not too thrilled. A c-bet has to be pretty big so I lean towards a check.

Mh, if I limp behind we see a flop 5-handed.
I hate this with TPTK/TP2K... and I don't think I'm good at playing it.
Is pushing pf very bad?

Pushing pf isn't awful, not optimal though.

I limp behind as well.

As played, check behind, that board is super coordinated &amp; good for a limp/call range. When someone limp calls that much, a much dryer board or Kxx is much better. J high flops are death.

I limp pre as well. cbet has to be at least 400 and that's a huge chunk of our stack on kinda a drawy board. Though you've kinda made the pot too big to give up on I think so I would probably still fire here (but not a shove).

To call a push though? I think it would be a bad board to bet into but can most hands that connected with it call you?

I hate shoving pf here. We have what ~28bbs w/ one limper... shoving seems very spewy. And I hate jamming this flop just as much. I limp pf, and check/fold unless I pair on later streets.

Edit: Sorry, 2 limpers pf, doesn't change the math that much.

As played I don't think a push here is that bad....

However I will agree with the posts above and just limp behind here, you're at the awkward level of the SNG, no point in spewing.
