Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) converter

SB (t1193)
Hero (t1160)
UTG (t2505)
MP (t3555)
CO (t450)
Button (t1137)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
2 folds, CO raises to t450 (All-In), 2 folds, Hero ???

CO (one of the posters on this forum) was playing really tight, but this hand imo is a push for him with any two.

Easy call IMO. It is only a min raise and you have a better than average hand. It is +$EV to call here.

I knew this hand looked familiar. I went over my HH's from last night and came up with:

I'd call in your spot too so no biggie. That golf4life dude was a prick. Just read all his comments right now. Nice playing with you. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Those guys were not only pricks they were dumb as well.

For any two:

For 22+,A2+,K4o+,K2s+,Q9o+,Q8s+,JTo,J9s+:

Closer, but still a call.

Verdict: call.

I still think the second read is better than the first, since the player knows he's getting called.

Edit: oops, should be Q9s. Not a big difference, same conclusion.

Yup, no way I'd push any two in that situation unless i absolutely knew the BB would fold. I'd just wait it out with the couple of free hands I'd have left to try and find a monster.
