This was in a freeroll. The prize structure is 1st $25, 2nd $15.50, 3rd $11, 4th $8.50, 5th $7.
Blinds were 3000/6000, ante 750.
Stack sizes were approximately:
Me: 101K, and then going clockwise:
Villain 1: 75k
Villain 2: 23k
Villain 3: 59k
Villain 4: 32k
I had the BTN and V1 was on SB. I raised to a bit over 2xBB with 99. V1 instashoves.
V1 is an aggressive type. 2 hands earlier he had doubled me up with a bluff with nothing but QJ on a highly coordinated board. 3 to a flush (the 3rd flush card landed on the river) and 4 to a str (all low cards). I had a str and check/raised on the turn and check/called on the river.
I felt I was ahead if I called. 99 was only in trouble vs. 4 hands and no worse than a coinflip against everything else. V1 would probably shove a small PP so I may have even been dominating him.
But most likely he had two overcards and I didn't wanna flip for it. If I lost I would have slipped to almost last place. I ended up folding.
V1 and I ended up in HU. He knocked out 2 of the other 3 guys and started HU with a big advantage and it lasted one hand. 77 vs. A3 all in pre and he turned an ace.
I've been thinking I should have just called with 99. My reason for folding was that if I folded I would still have the chip lead and I didn't wanna let a coinflip determine if I fell to last.
Too weak...
Would you call the shove? Had I called and won I probably would have won.
