lol we know who you are... you are the only persons whole cards we can see....

you call here its only 4 bucks more. if he had a bigger stack you fold because he probably has an overpair here im guessing? AKs? maybe a set but i doubt it

Bad call preflop. So i dont do anything im not invloved.
Fold.
trip 9s perhaps, utg had 99?
Wouldnt be a total surprise at 6max 50nl

Why bad call

[bearcats05]

A9 is usually dominated by a preflop raise from UTG

You mean A 9 suited should not be played in early position with only 6 people?

[bearcats05]

early position?? you were in the small blind.
and yes to a raise from UTG i think you should fold.

[Irisheyes]

the small blind is EP.

A9 is fine to play 6 handed. Just not when you are calling an UTG raise out of position on the raiser. I fold preflop.

Also easy fold on the flop because you have a marginal hand considering the action and chides64 is going another chance to reraise.

Why the minbet on the flop. Minbets accomplish nothing decent.

[p-i]

Fold preflop. Fold flop. Rebuy?

i meant SB is late position pre flop... i still dont like calling a raise from there..

Why bad call

That suggests you need to both consider you're own position when you call preflop and what your opponent is raising with.

Shallow money, no reads, just stick it all in sport.
