Re: Hands from the Bellagio ME when in a \"short\" stack

No, you dont have to be "that" sure, im sure enough, and want a stack where I can play some poker.

you stack isn't desperately short yet, so i don't think you can take too much -EV to try to double up. I think getting allin here would be a negative play. YOu have very little FE, and I think you're pretty far behind his range here. You have to give UTG a good hand here most of the time after that action. if you're "lucky" i think he's got a flush draw with at least 1 over. Quite likely that he either flopped a set, or was slowplaying a big pair preflop where you're drawing very slim. Basically a slightly ahread/way behind spot where you're not getting that great of odds.
btw. any particular reason you didn't raise PF in hand 1? 99 is a very good hand, and it seems strange to just play for a set here.
