I think I played this wrong...

The two bigger stacks to my left were playing very tightly while the short stack had been much looser.

My goal here was to give the short stack good odds to call / raise me so that I could take him all-in and be in a much better chip position ITM if I won or, if I lost, continue stealing from the tight players to my left. I was also trying to determine the right amount where I would be ok with dropping it if one of the big stacks came over top all-in.

Dealt to HERO [ 9d, 9h ]
HERO raises (400) to 400
kwoksun2000 folds.
t33n3r raises (1925) to 2000
Andy3B folds.
HERO folds.

Questions

1) What should I have done preflop with this? I had been stealing a lot of blinds up to that point.

2) If the short stack calls then I think the easy play is for me to also go all-in. Is that right?

3) In this situation where the small stack folded, I likely am a decent favorite to win the hand, I have pretty good pot odds but do I make this call with 9's?

Thanks,

rvg
