Caesars Indiana 85+15, big blind with 99, bust out hand

[doggin]

120 players total but now down to 65, blinds are 150/300.

Five hands ago we had a new player come in with about
5,000T which made him our table chip leader. His first
hand in LP had two limpers and he raises to 900, one caller with 77, versus raiser's K 7o, spikes a K on the turn to take it down.

I'm in the big blind with 99. Two limp to the big stack,
he raises to 900, SB folds.............I have 1600T after
posting, this is the last hand before break and blinds going to 200/400, I really felt this was a coin flip if
I could get it folded back around to him with an all-in.
It worked as the limpers folded to him and he thought about folding for a few seconds but called with A Q.
Suits irrelevant. He rivered a Q. End of my tourney.

NOTE: comments please, was I right to even want to get
heads up with him in a coin flip decision on my tourney
life? I would have had just enough fold equity with 3.5BB
through out the next orbit to maybe steal the blinds.
Is this an automatic raise? or fold? or raise? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanx d

I like your push. You wound up getting almost 2-1 on your money, plus being the favorite to win the hand. It wasn't that likely that the chip leader or the first limper had a bigger pair, which is all you are worried about. You would only have 4xBB after the break, so you want to try something.
