What's my play here?

[Semtex]

should have folded this preflop. Easy fold postflop. Why are you EP semibluffing w/suited connectors at this stage in the tourney?

[Dan.]

Fold every step of the way.

Preflop - Fold
On flop - Fold

Fold preflop. Fold to re-raise. Fold on flop.

Push, spike a T on the turn, and explain to CO that he shouldn't put his stack at risk with crap like KK this early in the tourney.

Can you please explain why you are raising 9 high from UTG?

A few problems with this. First, it's a $22. People don't care what position you are raising from. They'll call your EP/MP/LP raises with very similar ranges.

Second, you will get a caller, guaranteed. So, you are almost always going to be playing this hand out of position. Which sucks.

What would arguments for raising here? Deceptive value and implied odds are the only ones I can think of. However, deception is not possible against opponents who don't think and implied odds are tough to find in short stack SNGs.

Just fold it the first time it gets to you. Fold it the second time it gets to you.

Now, what do you do on this bloated pot, out of position when you've got your great flop for 89. You could lead and fold to a push I guess. You could check/raise all in if you don't believe he has an over pair.

Or, and probably the smartest, just check fold.
