Thoughts and Results
Well, this is a good example of how not to play a hand -
I was thinking that 99 is so vulnerable that I didn't want the blinds seeing a cheap flop (SB getting 4.3 to 1 and BB getting 6.4 to 1) with a hand like QJ or KT and I wanted UTG to pay if he had AQ/AK. I wanted to raise to drive out the blinds and to put UTG to the test so I actually raised to 4000. It was folded to UTG who pushed. It was 3600 to call to win 13100 so I called off most of my remaining stack. UTG showed KK and I was in bad shape. I got lucky and caught my 2 outter and doubled-up as a 4:1 dog!
I suppose with position I could have called, and that would have probably been the best play - because after I raised I realized I was PC'd by HIS stack - something I forgot to consider for whatever reason.
