Default Re: How do you play 99? (In this situation 10+1)

I've come across this situation so many times (although, not always with the BB pushing). My general range for mathematically analyzing this is AJ+, 66+ (but no AA). Using pokerstove, 99 is a 48.5% favorite here. Because the BB is pushing, I think you can increase the hand range to include any pair, any ace, perhaps even KQ.

Anyway, I don't regard my read on the difference because it's the BB. I fold here.
