Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with , . SB posts a blind of 250.
UTG raises 7520 (All-In)

This is such a strong move I think the small read I have on him is irrelavent...but considering the blinds should I just shove here??

Tony The Turtle folds
FakingClever folds
SuperSloty raises to 1,200

This is the first hand of the final table and I look at my hand 99...oh pretty good hand I should shove here...but then big 1200 raise comes out and my mind goes blank...im thinking...I could be way ahead, way behind, 55/45 coin flip and just have no idea what to do.

This is not tough, I call every time. You only have 9BB's left you may not get another opportunity to get it in with such a strong hand. Don't be a pussy - play to win, not just to cash.

[sk8r_daniel]

Ok...but doesn't his massive overbet UTG indicate a very strong pocket pair.

[Muzzard]

Nope to me this could be anything like 88+ AJs/AQo+. I don't think many players would just shove AA and KK here pre, they'd just standard raise it - unless they had been doing a lot of open shoving. The only thing I could see open shoving that we are way behind to is QQ really.

Don't be results orientated!

Hand two is a lot trickier. Meh, a fold kinda seems weak - but you don't really have any FE and its gunna be a race at best. I don't think this is gunna be a pair <99, more likely to be Broadways or TT+, looks like he's trying to suck some value.

[sk8r_daniel]

He had bet 3/4 hands and this was the 5th hand...so to me it screamed high pocket pair...i did end up calling and he also had JJ....go figure.

[elipsesjeff]

hand 1) easy call, hand 2) I ship here. He has a real wide range that you're doing better than flipping with, as he'll look you up with Ax often.

[Sprayed]

For both, I'm getting my chips in for the reasons mentioned above. These hands play too good against their ranges and you don't have the option to wait for a better spot since you are short.
