I just got eleminated from a STT on a hand i'm not sure if i played right, so I came here looking for some help. I'll start with the relevant information. It was a $6.50 6man STT and we were down to the last 3 people. I am 2nd in chips with about 2100 the ss has about 1800 chips and the chipleader has more than 4000. The villian (chipleader) has been showing many of his hands through the tourney and we know he will raise with A-x along with good hands. Anyway, to the actual hand blinds are 75/150 and i am dealt pocket 9's on the button I limp in, sb (ss) fold, and bb (villian) makes a standard raise of 3bb to 450. Knowing that the villian probably has atleast one overcard i think to myself i need to make a move and this appeares to be a good spot to do so. I shove all in and villian calls shoing KdQs. Flop comes out 2c,Qh,Jc. Not good obviously, turn is 8d, which gives me a few more outs. River is a 5c. Game over i lose.
I have a few questions 1) Should i have even played the hand at all and waited to see if the ss would get busted out or was playing this hand a correct move? 2) Should i have raised instead of limped into the pot? 3) Should i have just called the raise instead of shoving? 4) Did i play this correctly and just get unlucky?
