I think you could wait to find a better spot to get your chips in.

If you get called, your best case scenario would probably be two overs in which your a coinflip, lots of times you're crushed here by an over pair. So, that being said, you don't want a call which makes this a steal attempt.

You have about 15 BBs here, so I don't think you are feeling that desperate to double up yet or steal 175 in chips. Combined with the fact that you are nine handed, I think you have a lot of hands left before you are desperate.

So, I fold here.

Why not call and see a flop?

I personally don't like calling in this spot for a couple reasons. First, 99 is not a hand that looks very good after a flop so you are most likely going to have to give up on it if you don't at least hit a set.

Secondly, there are still seven left to act after you, so calling doesn't insure that you'll even see the flop.

If you call here, it brings you to 630 in chips with the blinds approaching in a couple hands. I'd perfer to save my 100 chips here for a better spot.

I really dont like this play. First of default raise could be moster just as often as garbage. Secondly at the 11's there is a good chance you are called by someone behind with AJ or TT. In short I think you are not getting your money in with the best of it and dont have much FE because of the buyin level.

Not to intrude, but I thought you played the 22's or the 33's.

seems everyone wants to fold here cuz theres little FE...
What range would UTG need to have to make this -cEV?

Where would you draw the lines? Push with 10s?
