Final tables 99

[thelynx]

Hi,
I was sitting at one table in a tournament when it was only 20 players left of 300.
payout structure was :
1:st - 500$
2: - 250$
3: - 160$
4: - 120$
5: - 100$
6: - 90$
7: - 80$
8: - 70$
9: - 60$
10: - 50$
11-20:- 30$
At my table, 2 players had approx 60 000 chips ( chipleaders ), rest of us had between 15 000 and 30 000 chips.
I had approx 30 000 chips. If I remember correct, I was in 6th place at that time and had approx 7 times BB.
Chipleader raised UTG to 2 times BB (approx 10 000). He had start play looser the last 30 minutes due to his stack. In middle position
a player that was tight went All-in with approx 30 000.
I was sitting in late pos with pocket 9's.
What should I have done? called and be all-in in the same time or fold ?
I know the story is not accurate so I hope you are not to fussy and take it for it is.

Fold. UTG flat raise to act behind you, plus the all-in to beat (from 'tight' player). Fold.

^^^^^^^What he said.

You're just into the money, find a better time to move up the ladder.

Well, I fold and on the flop the third 9 appeared. I ended the tournament with the 5th price.

Errrr so what !!! I folded 42o last week and the flop was 444 so there !

Dont get results orientated. Folding pre-flop there is pretty standard, well played.

Dude, knowing the flop was 444, you should have called with your 42o. Oh, wait, was that results oriented? Sorry.

I'd fold this every day of the week. You played it right... sucks when you fold a pair and see you would have hit your set, but you did the right thing.

with possibly 2 or more opponents, you arent going to be even a coinflip to win unless they share cards.

Good fold, let someone else risk their tourney life while you move up a spot from them busting.
