Really wondering, I know my M is down there, but with 7 left to act, the best I can hope for is a race I think. Opinions?

It's a push, and it's not close. With a stack that small relative to the blinds, you're in no position to eschew potential races.

You're also getting called by sevens and eights usually. Probably sixes too and sometimes even lower pairs. So sometimes you're way ahead when called.

Tough beat though [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yes you picked a very nice hand considering your M. Expect to be ahead alot when called.

This push not debatable

Cool, thanks for reassuring me in that. I started wondering, I know 99 is way more than I can ask for, I think even 22 should be considered a present here. It was just the fact that there were so many left to act behind me that made me wonder. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] FWIW, I got called by QQ and went out in 17th. Oh well, can't win them all.
