On the bubble of a 27 man Sit & Go. Got dealt 99, obviously very happy. UTG raised. UTG+1 snap shoved. What do we do now...

poker stars $1.29+$0.21 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t80/t160 Blinds + t20 - 6 players

UTG: t6213 M = 17.26
MP: t1886 M = 5.24
Hero (CO): t16387 M = 45.52
BTN: t6094 M = 16.93
SB: t2252 M = 6.26
BB: t7668 M = 21.30

Pre Flop: (t360) Hero is CO with 9 :club: 9 :spade:
UTG raises to t320, MP raises to t1866 all in, Hero...

Youre drawing to, 2 outs, 3 times for this call.. So you can call up to 12%

They don't necessarily have TT+. Otherwise I wouldn't have posted this hand.

They probably have 2 over cards or a better pocket pair..

Correct. In this spot I would probably flat/fold 88-TT and maybe AQ, shove JJ/AK, and flat/call QQ+.



This makes very much sense, thanks.

I ended up folding because I'm bad. They both had AK.

Do you find that you have to play post flop very often in this spot? Or should UTG usually be playing fold or shove, and rarely calls?
