Without a good read fold. I dont like gambling half my chips with a healthy stack and this early. as you know you are a minor favourite or a really big dog. Stay patient!

[studboyjoe]

good raise PF and good fold post-flop. As Ping says, no need to play coin flips if you have a healthy stack. Consider playing marginal hands when the BB is 10% of your stack or more, some won't until it's 20% or more.

[mgobluefb]

Yeah, I agree. Fold and look for a better spot.

It was a pre-flop re-raise...

I would have called, but that's because I play free-rolls where people go all-in with like A6 at this stage.

[elanto]

yeah good fold you dont need to gamble at this stage. you can call this when you have less than qo times the BB but right now your looking good and a coinflip isnt necessary..

good laydown

Either raise more -5x minimum - pre flop or limp along, you don't want a 3 way pot with 99 unless you're playing for a set.... with these stacks I'd prefer the raise. At that point you'd have been getting 2/1 on the call, so I'd like that. Here either is fine, I'd lean to calling with no read.

Is this really an MTT or is it an SNG?

I make my bets consistent 3x BB. I am not gonna raise 5x.....

MTT, look at chip stacks at table they dont add up if everyone started with 1500.

[drmcboy]

So if 7 people limp in front you're still raising the same amount? That's not good. You need to be thinking about the pot odds you're giving your opps.
