variance in your standard play, varying your play, changing your play, mixing up your play, deception in your play.......this is off the topic. antonym for variance is (sameness), so i used that word. yes i should of used a different word because variance is used somewhere else in poker, but i'm not so edukated.
at any rate, i feel bad for 5miles so i will help him out. i usually don't. maybe i'll get one or two people here that can use it, and the rest....stick with your ABC, it works also.
let me first begin by saying that it's also good to raise standard and take the blinds, you're going to add 10% to your stack without a problem. he's prolly going to put you on button steal mode, but he still has to put the rest of his chips in there, knowing he'll be called no matter what, so he still needs some sort of hand. if you both have more chips, then a raise is more appropriate.
ANOTHER way of playing it is by limping in w/ a big pair, especially on this spot which allows for more mistakes from the bb. i don't do this often but this is one of those 10% times i will. the sb is sitting out so he's out of the picture, but helps your cause. had you raise standard, it will be for about 1/3 of the bb's stack. he prolly knows he won't get you to fold that way so an all in reraise bluff would be dumb, so he will fold and off to the next hand. i've notice a lot of short stack get anxious later in the tournie, because those blinds eats up their chips, this is good for you when the flop comes.
so you limped, BB's first mistake would come from moving all in here preflop thinking you're weak and just limping because sb is sitting out. most peeps on the button will raise in this spot no matter what they are holding to steal the blinds. all the chips are gong in the middle anyways if they're holding some sort of hand, BUT you just gave them a much WIDER range in moving all in because you showed so much weakness.
the big benefit in limping in here is the opportunity for the villain to bluff. yes you could be outdrawn, if you're scared of that then stick to the standard raise. 889 board is a good flop for the bb to bluff at or bet if holding the 9. as stated by previous posters, a pot size bet will not always mean that the villain flopped trips. seems more like a scared bet.....scared of an overcard on the turn bet, thus all in on turn 7. i obviously could be wrong, but w/ QQ, i think it's time to put all your chips in there.
my mind veered off while writing this, but i really hope it helps you 5miles. DON'T think that you have to play a particular way to win in poker. look at me for example........i play different and still not much of a winning player =)
