Bubble Time With Pocket Nines
Party Poker Sit-n-Go
Blinds 50/100 Down to 4 Players UTG Hero ~1100 chips BUTTON ~1500 chips SB ~2800 chips BB ~2600 chips Hero dealt 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], makes it 300 to go. Button folds. SB pushes all-in. BB folds. SB had pushed all-in several times earlier in the tourney, once showing pocket sixes, another time showing JT [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]'s. Is this a clear call?

Re: Bubble Time With Pocket Nines
agree, this is a very strong hand SH and you don't want to give him any overcards to improve with on the flop.

Re: Bubble Time With Pocket Nines
I almost did. I had slightly over ten big blinds in my stack so I decided to just open for a standard raise. But given that I did not, is this an insta-call?

[/ QUOTE ] That rule shouldn't be strictly adhered. There are times (albeit rare) that I would open for 3x with less than 10xBB. More often, the flipside occurs (as in this hand) where I would openpush more than 10xBB.

Push. When you didn't, call.

Re: Bubble Time With Pocket Nines
In situations like this I try to remember to ask myself, what am I going to do if someone comes over the top. If the answer is call, then I might as well have gone all in to begin with and have the benifit of some fold equity.
In this situation even though you have slightly more than 10x bb, I think I would push.
