Default Re: somebody please give me a clue

Calf is right, you should push this rather than min-raise. Min-raising is BAD, unless you are trying to trap with AA or something, and even then it is debatable.

You may or may not have heard of the "10xBB rule", but basically it says that if you have ~10 times the BB or less, any raise you make should be all-in. The reason is that if you raise less than all-in, you have so few chips left that you will definately call a re-raise, so you are better off maximizing the chances of your opponent(s) folding by just getting all of your chips in at once.

Having said all of that, K9 is plenty good to push with from the button with your stack size, and especially since you are the shortest stack.
