I've come across this situation so many times (although, not always with the BB pushing). My general range for mathematically analyzing this is AJ+, 66+ (but no AA). Using pokerstove, 99 is a 48.5% favorite here. Because the BB is pushing, I think you can increase the hand range to include any pair, any ace, perhaps even KQ.

Anyway, I don't regard my read on the difference because it's the BB. I fold here.

Small-medium pairs are good for raising all in. horrible for calling all in.

I fold pretty easily here.

Even if you're sure it's PVS I don't think it's worth the risk here.

To make this call you better be sure are your the favorite of at least 70/30, otherwise it is pointless. Even if he has A2o your not that big of a favorite. Wait for a better spot. BTW I would have pushed. Nobody showed any strength.

You would have pushed 99 on level 3 with 745 chips?

This is horrible advice you're giving here.

Are you sure this isn't a leak of yours to begin with?

PS: if he did have A2o, 99 is a 70/30 favorite... but thats out of the question.

Easy push? As in I should of pushed in sb originally? Well most of the time those behind me and the bb(not knowing of his actions in this hypothetical) has less of a hand. Most of the time I pick up the pot, about a 6th of my stack, right there. I think it's somewhat rare that someone calls me here and I'm beating them, slightly less of the time that I get a caller and they are beating me.

I hate the call, therefor I should fold.

In the future I suppose it's a push for me, I was just playing more conservative ala "ben franklins revised beating the 11s"

Can anyone convince me otherwise than I have stated?
