<font color="blue"> My thinking is that I am likely ahead. Danswa was the 3rd limper into the pot, which would be a very unusual way to play any pair that is ahead of me. It seems like he is making a move on me. The remaining players sandwiched between us are of no real concern, if they had a hand, they would have limited the field when they had the chance. I figure that I am at least on the right side of a coinflip, and possibly way ahead. His line thus far screams of either a smaller pair or a weakish ace. Do I push all my chips in here and try to grab the t340 that is sitting out there? I know its a high risk move to put my tourney on the line with only 99, but this seems like a great spot. Any thoughts?</font>
