Ace rag on bubble

I had no clue what to with this hand PF. What are your thoughts after the flop? Villian had not been tight at all.

this is a $11 btw
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter

Button (t1095)
SB (t2470)
BB (t3025)
Hero (t1410)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises to t400, 1 fold, SB calls t325, 1 fold.

Flop: (t950) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t150, SB calls t860.

Turn: (t1960) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t1960) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: t1960

Converter messed up but i raised all in on his bet and he called.

tough spot ... id venture to guess he called your PF raise with a 9 and beat you there

i might raise it a bit more PF, possibly even just plain push ... if you dont feel comfortable then fold it and hope the button blinds out before you do

Poooosh!

Well that's what I'd do on the $55s. $11s are so unpredictable, so assuming they will call with any 2 random cards, it's not that clear cut. I would still push it though.

Definitely do not raise to 400. With your stack and these blinds I fold, but I don't think pushing is terrible.

I think pushing here is pretty marginal and I don't think I'd do it at the 11's. The calling standards are just WAY to wide. A8 is probably the worst I'd push in this position.

I'd definitely fold here, but it's close. I'd probably want 1200 or fewer chips to make this a push. Mostly because this is a 10 and you're gonna get called a lot.

Like I said. I would fold, but pushing is not terrible (read: marginal). It's really not horrible, but folding is better.

With your read on the SB its a fold.

I really don't like the raise I think you push or fold but I would fold here.

I think I'd fold it preflop and not feel bad about it at all.

You have almost 10BBs and a decent edge over the 4th place guy A6o isn't a great hand and you don't really "need" those chips.

After the flop comes I don't think you can fold. I might just check-call if I felt weak but I don't really see myself folding here usually. Of course I could be wrong and it may be an easy fold if he pushes the turn.
