Re: committed to 99
Don't raise 7.5BB UTG with 99 when you're short stacked.
(In your position), I like a limp and hope to get raised. Then re-raise hard and try to steal whats in the pot Pre flop. This is about as poorly as you could have played this hand.

Re: committed to 99
Basically, with my short stack, I'm trying to make the biggest bet they'll call with a weaker hand. This was a 6-handed game, with very loose and over aggressive players. I thought it was very likely I'd get played with raising to $15 and there'd be a very good chance I'd be a 3-2 or better favorite if I did get played with.

[/ QUOTE ] your hand isn't that good. with 99 i'd want some FE, hence the limp-push suggestion i made. if i had AA, then i'd open raise because i know i'm going to get callers or raisers...the more the merrier. as for short stacks...i think i make good poker decisions. i want to maximize the number of decisions that i'm going to make. if my only decision is whether to push preflop or see a flop first, then i'm limiting how much my skill will win for me. the more money you have on the table, the more decisions you can make in a hand and the decisions are a lot more important later on when the pot is bigger and there's more money at risk.
