My second live sng: 99 on 245 flop

[shejk]

Pretty early in a 150 dollar live sng. Blinds are 100-200, av stack 8k. 9 starting, 8 left. I have about 6k in my stack.

I get 99 utg, and decide to limp. I don't like getting any calls and have to play a big pot out of position. Besides there are some habitual pf raisers that I'd love to push this hand on. Unlike earlier hands, 3 people limp behind me, sb completes and bb checks.

6 people see the flop, pot 1200 chips.

comes 245, rainbow, sb and bb checks. I overbet 2k into the pot, since I'm sitting really reclined and doing my bets with my feet.

one fold, and then the chipleader pushes me allin. I drew a bad beat on him in an earlier tourny, and he's been joking a lot about getting me back for it. Everyone folds up to me, and I....?

My feeling is that he thinks I'm weak, but I do figure he has a made hand of some kind - he wouldn't push on me with nothing.

I had the exact same hand in a live SNG also. Same thing. 99 UTG. I too limped. Several callers, including SB and BB. Same kind of raggedly flop (2-3-6). Something like that. I too overbet the pot. Why? I'm not sure. Another player raises my 3x my bet. I put him all-in. He shows me 2-2, and later comments that he would've folded had I raised. I mention this only because of how similar the two hands were. You are a better poker player than me I guess [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img], b/c sounds like you folded and don't know what he had.

He he, I'm not saying yet how I played it, figured the answers would be better without me rambling about results.

I think its very possible for a blind to be holding 36 or A3. That said, I fold the allin here.

I feel it's too tight/passive to fold this because two players might have flopped the straight. There are so many other hands they could have. And I didn't think it likely that anyone would limp with A3 or 36.

What about the SB blind completing and the BB checking?

I dont think its correct to overbet a flop and then fold to a push. Whenever I overbet I'am 90% sure i have the best hand and want to punish people if they are going to draw against me, if they push i call and usually im against a flush draw or OESD.

I think you have to fold this..I raise PF on a loose/passive table.

The table was actually tight and aggressive. This was the first hand that looked even remotely like this. Cant remember more than three people seeing the flop in another hand all evening. My plan preflop was actually to call and then push if I got a raise from one of the most aggressive players.

I have a feeling a lot of swedes want to play sngs (you sort of know how much you can loose I guess) but earlier they've been more like 5 or 10 dollars buyin when I've been playing.
