Playing an online MTT on carbon the other day when the following hand came up:
My stack 13,000 Blinds: 200-400
I open the pot with 99 to 1,200 from early position and get called by 2 middle positions and the BB
the flop comes down 345 w/ two clubs.
the BB($2,500) leads into us all for 2,000. I call instead of raising bc if i raise i gotta make it 4,000 which is fully committing myself to the pot, in which case i may as well jam the flop(debateable). in any case, one of the players with 8,000 in chips makes it 7,000 to go(leaving himself 1,000). the BB calls all in for his last 500 and its back on me.
-the pot now has 16,500, my stack is now 10,800 and i have to call essentially 6,000 more to play(the raiser is never folding for his extra 1,000 so im essentially playing for his stack.)
WHAT DO I DO WITH 99?
CAN I BE AHEAD HERE?
IF IM AHEAD AM I EVEN A FAVORITE TO WIN THE POT W/ 2 CLUBS AND STR8 DRAWS OUT THERE?
Results 1 to 10 of 82

Early to mid in the tourney i'd possibly fold but later in the MTT i'd shove after the 2k postflop bet. But it also depends if either of initial callers is likely to do that with a pp bigger than your 9s.

Really hate getting AI in these types of scenarios. You are rarely if ever in a good spot. Fold and wait for spots with FE.

At this point its all in there is another tournament. If your ahead you win big if your behind then the lesson has served you well for next time. Long run its a win win. You learn a valuable lesson or you double your stack at least.
