And Hero\'s play with 99, level 3?
 

I hate level 3 play.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) converter

UTG (t1830)
MP1 (t675)
MP2 (t360)
CO (t1185)
Hero (t625)
SB (t1705)
BB (t1620)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t50, MP1 calls t50, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ?


And more importantly, why?

Re: And Hero\'s play with 99, level 3?
 

Depends on how MP2 has been playing, and what kind of range you can put him on. With a normal donkey, I fold because he clearly has QQ-AA/AK and thinks that the minraise isn't giving it away. Against a super donkey, I push and isolate because he just has any hand that he wants to go all-in with and I want to isolate him for half my stack with t175 overlay on a probable coinflip. The shortstack minraise should raise some alarm bells though, I'd fold against an unknown.

By the way, I think doing anything but pushing or folding would be incorrect.

Thanks, good to know.

Calling for 100 just for set value is not a good play here hey?

So either all in or fold. I did one of those 2 but not sure if it was right. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yup? What buy-in level, and how much does minraiser suck at poker?

Sorry, 22 Party. Minraiser had high VPIP. He sucked also.

Push. Don't worry if he had aces this time, he'll have KJo next time.
