$0.55 NLHE MTT Deep Stacked Turbo: $0.55 NLHE MTT Deep Stacked Turbo: 99 in UTG+2 facing a big squeeze

I don't think I played this hand well at all... so I wanna know which would be the correct play here. Should I do the squeeze myself and fold to the re-squeeze? should I just call the squeeze and check fold when there's more than one overcard and I didn't hit a 9, which happens almost always? I think what I did was kind of a punt so I wanna know what would be the correct thing to do :confused:

So, first call is correct obviously.
Now, btn is 3-betting utg raise and several callers, so his range is very tight. His range is probably something like QQ+, AK, maybe some bluffs like AJs or A5s, but in this micro-stakes, players don't 3-bet bluff as often as they should, villains range might be entirely composed of value hands. You are way behind against this range. It's unpleasant, but you should just fold here. Going all in is just burning money.

well, seeing that you had +4600 chips, I think going all in was too aggressive, I would never go all in with 99 that early in the tournament and having 39 bb, basically you made all the hard work for the villain with aces, he raised 10 bb, and in UTG 3 I would have insta folded preflop, or maybe just a call, and if I get a set, I keep playing the hand to get a better value, but If I don't hit a set, I might fold to any raise pre turn.

Your 4-bet all-in forces the villains to discard all their hands from 3-bet range except for the top of it. Thus the question is reduced to a calculation if this all-in is profitable or not. And this is a problem since you don't have any information on villains - what's their 3-bet range, 4-bet calling range and the like. So you were correct calling your move a "punt".

Assuming all-in is no good in this specific situation the only possible actions are calling and folding.

Folding doesn't seem good since you get very good odds - you need to invest 7.8BB for about 25BB in the pot. So that leaves calling. But you'd have tough time playing postflop - the pot is overblown, UTG+1 has a stack covering you, and button has position on you. Considering this and the absence of info on opponents tight fold seems reasonable - with more than 35BB stack you could find better spots.

Either call or fold to the reraise. I probably fold since UTG called too and you have, at best, 50/50 odds with button and UTG heads up, and obviously way worse in a three way pot.

Your shove is really bad. First off, we know button has a premium hand and his pot odds to call are too good to fold. Even if he has JJ+, AQs+, AKo, he’s always calling. Your fold equity is basically 0 unless he’s a totally weak player.

And that’s because your bigger issue is that you called the initial raise, THEN shoved. If you had a premium hand, you would’ve reraise at first. Obviously it’s a very simple call with AA, but even AQo is calling you here.

So with almost no fold equity, it’s all about how you matchup. Against his range, you are maybe a coin flip. With a middle stack, this is not a good time to get it in.
