Final Two Tables -- Coinflips (plus a hand to analyze)

[Chu]

Someone I know just busted out 16th in a $33 MTT on party, but we had some disagreements on how he played his final hand. Before I get to that though, a general question.

When your that deep into a tournament, do you still want to take coinflips with an average stack and trying to take a chip lead into the final table, or is it better to wait for spots and play your usual (agressive) game?

That being said, here is the hand he busted out on :

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t3000 (8 handed) converter

MP2 (t27566)
CO (t41045)
Button (t90470)
SB (t19116)
BB (t15406)
Hero (t37838)
UTG+1 (t27103)
MP1 (t21883)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t9000</font>, UTG+1 raises to 27103, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, Hero calls t18103.

Flop: (t58706) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t58706) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t58706) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t58706

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Ac Kh (one pair, nines).
UTG+1 has Qh Qs (two pair, queens and nines).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins t58706. </font>

Big Slick strikes again [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Anyways, Hero put the other player on JJ-AA, AK, and *MAYBE* AQ. With the AQ he has the pot odds to call, but a loss would be crippling. Without the AQ it's essentially a coinflip.

What's the play?

he played it allright. I might open push sometimes there.
