FT of the WPT-PCA Super-Sat on Stars. 3 players win a seat to the $650 Qualifier tonight. SB is rather LAG, but has settled down a little at the FT. With 2 tables left SB was running over his table, while I was doing the same on mine. Since, we've both lost pots to CL. Button is pretty passive and has been blinding away for a bit.

This hand came up, and folding, pushing and calling and checking down all seemed like reasonable options to me. What do you do and why?

A call here gets nearly 3:1. Plan on checking down unless you spike your 9.

SB has you covered by 80K, so if you push he might end up calling here, in which case you are either racing or a big dog.

I don't think folding is an option here in my book, I'd probably call and see a flop and act from there.
