99 Bubble Trouble

Is this an easy push or easy fold because of BB's stack?

After posting the BB, he has 390 left.

99 is way too good of a hand to lay down 4 handed. Not only should you push it, but you should be calling pushes with it.

You dont have enough chips to fold into the money IMO. If the short stack had like 300 then its a different situation. Blinds are high, and you have a great hand, poooosh!

EDIT: wait, I misread the HH. Now that I understand it its even MORE of a push. If it folds around to short stack who is on the BB your stacks are pretty even. Folding in this spot puts you farther from making the money, not closer. Further more he is in a position where he should be calling with any two cards. You are in the CO and can open push and hopefully get it heads up against a random hand. easy easy push

if you fold and the BB wins or gets folded to, you get very screwed -- push here

What if it is folded to you in the SB and you look down and see 72o. You really want to be pushing that? If you win the blinds by pushing 99, you are in much better shape.
