I call, and call a bet on a raggity flop, or with one overcard. If I flop a set I will play fast on a draw heavy board, but slower on an uncoordinated flop. The turn is probably the most important decision, but I think you have a stack deep enough to be calling in position on a raiser.

Wow thats a ridiculously tight preflop fold.

Call preflop. MAKE A DECISION ON THE FLOP.

I'd say an overwhelming number of posters in the MTT board are terrified of playing flops, and its very bad. ESPECIALLY in a deep tournament with tough competition like the stars 100 rebuy. [censored] I'd call here with JTs and 22, let alone 99. Grow some balls and see what happens on the flop. This isn't a partypoker sit and go. You can see flops in position.

Basically what Ansky said, without all the pent up aggression/roid rage.

call and play a flop, occasionally raise to like 4k occasionaly.

Sometimes you can't be afraid to go to the felt. What you know about a player helps here determining his range of hands. You may want to make a considerable raise on the flop, giving you good information, to avoid this decision. You can check behind on the turn, but you will probably be right in calling a river bet because he could easily be bluffing. How many hands can a Q72 flop help? AA,KK,AQ,KQ,QQ,JJ,TT and the last two will be tough to play if you make a play at the pot on the flop or on the turn. Personally, I'd respect the ace and fold the flop. I suck playing middle pairs but I'd probably push the turn in your situation

Psh, its not pent up. Its open and straight foward aggression. I'm sorry if the OP got offended or thought I was too harsh, I'm just sour after a horrid run today.

no offense taken. i completely despise short stack poker and that just what tournaments happen to be. give me 200 bb and ill outplay every table.

its seems i have trouble mid game like 20-30 bb stacks figuring whether i should call to see flops and outplay. one reason i didnt was because i had taken two pots from this guy recently preflop, and if i played back maybe he would get pissed and not let it happen.

Basically what Ansky said, with even more roid rage.

At least call and see what the flop brings. Who knows, maybe you'll get another caller.
