Default ($55s): 99 facing big stack limp on bubble.

I have no proof to back this up, but the way he's playing, I'm sure the Button is capable of a limp call with a lot of hands here. But, I don't need that much fold equity do I?

PartyPoker $55 Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t5243)
Button (t6326)
Hero (t6127)
BB (t2304)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
CO calls t600, Button calls t600, Hero ????

99 holds up too well vs a wide range not to shove even with your read.

I cant imagine anything other than shove with these stack sizes.

Fwiw, if you think hes limp/calling, isnt he more likely to do this with a pair bc you always have AK!? Yes. Let him call you with his 66-88.

All in. They are simply giving you their chips. If they do call, which is doubtful, then you are the favourite in a possible coinflip. Trust me, they won't call, not with shorty busting out in 2+ orbits. I love free money.

THE HUN.

Oh really? Both these guys limped. I.e., both of these guys don't understand the dynamics of the bubble. Why should I give them credit for being able to fold? Why should I believe you over my read?

I'm not saying it's not a push because button won't call, however I do think he's calling here a decent % of the time.
