Agreed - 99 isn't that much of a gamble given the situation. He needs to make a move soon - you have a genuine hand, have to do it imo.

2nd hand - played it fine, i'd do the same - you got in as favourite and got unlucky. Hard to say if the button would have called an earlier all in.Has he been tight? looking like he's playing to get in the money rather than taking 1st? If you did get the call chances are you are the dog. You ended up with an ideal situation which went bad [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

The SBs play is weird but once he saw the all in and call he maybe figured that was his best chance of getting in the money. I'd figure that the bigger stack wouldnt make a move unless he was sure he had it, no reason to risk it otherwise. Maybe he held something poor like A4. I'd be annoyed too [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
