You open-raised for 40% of your stack... I don't think you have a choice here, you've got to call. Folding will leave you short stacked with only enough for 3 more orbits.

I'm certainly one of the newer posters in this forum, but I think that this is certainly push or fold territory preflop.

I’d have pushed all-in preflop with less than 10xbb to avoid this decision and try to get overcard hands to fold.

Once you get to your spot, I autocall getting ~3:1 on my money. He’d need an overpair something like 80% of the time for a fold to be correct, and he could easily have 77, AJ etc. depending on player here.

Got to call now and im probably one of the tightest players on this forum. Try a smaller raise preflop yu might suspect that others will take this for weakness and move over the top with hands like aj aq 88 77... but the reality is alot of people sense that this might be a trap set by soemone with qq aa or kk i know i do it all the time and am amazed at how many people fold then tell me, "wow i laid a nice hand but I know yu had a monster by your raise...."

fold. when you get reraised here it is hard to see how you can call with 99 since you are a small fav or a big dog for most/all of your chips.

Just reread my post. Definitely too many certainly(s), too close together. Definitely.
