Default $22 bubble 99 CO

I have 99 in CO

Stack sizes are

me about 2k
Button has about 3k and is a bit of an agro
SB has 1k TAG
BB has 2k TAG

blinds are 75/150

What should be my standard play here?
What do I do if Button comes over the top?

thanks

I had SNGPT messed up. This blows my mind. As long as the button isn't calling you with complete trash it's +ev.

I push this all day though.

I'm running it at 1/200 since there is no 75/150 level. (Is there a way to add one?)

I don't like limping here and folding to a raise or playing an overcard flop. I don't like raising 1/5 my stack and folding to a push or playing an overcard flop.

Maybe you don't have the newest version or something, I have 75/150 here

What I do in this spot btw is raise ~3xBB, fold to a push that puts me in

This advice is flawed.

I would make a standard raise and fold to a push from Button or BB.

i push. i don't want to get played back at, and i think you have a lot more chance of folding out a KQ-type hand if you push. you only have 13x bb's. if you make it T400, button will know that he has a chance to move you off the hand unless you are very strong. if you push, BB will only call with a very strong hand with the short SB. i just hate giving button a chance to resteal. if you run into TT+ or get called by AJ+, try not to lose.

i agree that a push is +ev, however i am hesitant to begin the all-in fest this early (blinds only 75/150) since establishing a push-happy image now (when i am earning 225 for my push) may reduce my FE later, when the value of the FE equity is higher. this is non-scientific, it would be based on my "feel" for how wide the table will loosen their all-in calling ranges if they see me do it too often.
