Short stacked with 3 people left and I pushed T9o.

UB 5+.5
I had about 1500 chips and the other two had around 4200 each. They both play very poorly (limp too much, raise too little) but they've been folding consistantly to my pushes. Blinds at 150/300 and I was on the SB. Anyway, I pushed with T9o. What do you guys think?

If these players are weak and passive, you may want to make smaller raises with your strong hands.

When you pushed with T9, I need to know what the button did.

The reason I like this play more w/ T9 rather than a hand like KJ or so on is that when called your outs are very likely to be live. It would help to know how they played after the flop, are they passive? Do they play big pots w/ each other or were you in a situation in which you were forced to play a hand becuase of lack of action from the other players? If so I like the play, but if they like to rock the boat you can muck this and move on.

Oh right, Button folded, then I pushed.

They tended to bet small amounts relative to the pot, when postflop. They were playing against each other, but not very aggressively. Maybe that's why their bets were so small, they didn't want to risk busting.
