Hero pushes preflop. Anything else is moronic.

why
 

do you have this idiotic idea that money is almost gauranteed?

Re: Help please... 99 on the bubble, gauranteed money almost
 

lastchance & citanul have said everything that needs to be said, but I'll throw it into one post.

PUSH PREFLOP. You raised nearly half your stack, this is terrible if you might possibly fold postflop. Push preflop and maximise your folding equity because you DON'T WANT TO BE CALLED.

You are nowhere near guaranteed for the money. Almost guaranteed is like where sb has 50 chips. He's short but one won race and he's right back in there. He also has some time for someone else to make a mistake (like you did).

Thanks for all the help and deep insight... I can't wait to watch you on the WSOP on TV. If you don't have anything useful to say, please stfu. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: why
 

...they did have insightful things to say...

but you're right, you're playing a $5 tourney, you know everything and should tell them all to STFU. You're my hero.

Don't you know that Diese is always right, even with his many leaks in his game

Re: Help please... 99 on the bubble, gauranteed money almost
 

Unless your plane of action was a Stop n Go on any flop, you've blotched this hand. You've raised 45% of your stack, committing yourself to this pot if you're pushed allin. Limping places 15% of your stack in and that's no good. Push next time IMO.

I'm not always right at all... that's why I post here for help and I usually get great responses... Highestcard didn't do that
