Preflop decision vs Sirio11

[Ansky]

Pretty sure this is standard, but I wanted to double check. Midwayish through the stuper, both of us have been playing relatively snug, and Sirio has been talking a lot of [censored]. He even made fun of my cat.

Call for set value and because we have position?

I don't know, I'm tired and jealous of gobbo.

edit: whoops, didn't realize the effective stack here was 10xBB. Let me re-evaluate.

edit: I made up my mind. I fold because it's sirio. And he might spite call you with J9o because he doesn't like your cat.

Anyway, this was far from standard for me.

I fold here and don't think it's particularly close.

What would you do with 99/TT? For some reason I feel like those are much better hands, but here I'm not so sure.

I was thinking 99 might be my bare minimum push hand, but now I'm leaning towards TT. Would sirio raise with A9s here? That affects me decision big time.

If he's playing A9s, it'd almost certainly be for an open push with 10bbs right?

Do you really push? I think there's too many people behind you. I fold 99 and coldcall TT.

Wow. I'll take a mulligan.

Ignore my posts. I have been awake for way too long.

Good night fellas.

I think 88's a fold.

As for 99, I think that depends on how weird this raise is. Have you seen sirio play a 10.5 BB stack before, and does he usually push from EP or make a standard raise?

If he usually pushes, fold 99; if not, push 99.
