ITM push on a draw

i made this play because a) 13 outs b) i believed i was ahead preflop, and might have been on the flop given the player and c) stack sizes and blinds. this might be horribly wrong though [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

i duno where the hell you get 13 outs but assuming he has an ace yer stuck at 9. i make this play a lot though, i dont see a problem with it. i call it a stop and go. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] holla

i have 9 spades, and J9 that aren't spades. he had 42.

I'd advise against the min-raise preflop, the min-raise leaves you with 1200 chips, I'd push and be glad to get the blinds or not mind going to showdown. That said I still call his push on the flop since I'd only have 1200 chips and catching a spade gives me a good chance at winning.

here's another, in a different game... i get so pissed at these games that are SO slow that the blinds get way too big for stacks.. all of a sudden it's still 9-handed and i'm almost blinded out. i mean what the hell am i supposed to do in these slow games? it's either kill or be killed and i'm out in 9th like some total donk.
