This is difficult - MP1 is in the way. We'd like to play an UTG TAGG for set value. If MP1 is passive, we can get away with calling here. If he's aggressive, he's likely to kill our set value.

BTW, 99 is a decent hand here, at least at 10nl. So this depends a lot on villain reads. But yes, you're right, I would probably fold hands like 22 - 44 here. I'm more likely to 3bet w/ 99 than flat call (again, read dependent). But short stacks are bad for the set hunting business. It's even worse if the short stack is in the BB where TAGG UTG is likely to get squeezed on the flop.

Good question. I'll be interested to hear what others think.
