What was his Sb strategy on small sample?
He can have worse for value or stuff like AK ofc.

Ok, it's a FT bubble, but way too nitty IMHO. An x/raise of this kind is, most of the times, a semibluff (Just overcards, OESD, combo draw etc.). Our TPGK plays pretty good against this range. I don't think he would x/raise a set on that board with that effective stack, he'd mostly x/call OTF to reevaluate OTT. Maybe 79, but not Always, and we block some combos of it.

BTW, no x/raise flop infos? In 190 hands it could start meaning something for an mtt.

No it's not nitty it's a winning play guy shoves on a dry board all you have is a pair of nines right before the ft Folding.

Are you serious? Ludicrous stack sizes, TPGK... And you think it's "just a pair of nines"?... LOL.

8Ts, AKs, AQs, J9s... I don't think it's impossible to imagine stuff like that behind that flop move. And, if v is a poor player, hands with a 7 are plausible, i.e. A7s with two hearts or diamonds.

I'd probably check a few more 9x than usual on this flop with icm, and I'd b/f a T9/J9. Having a hard time rationalising a fold with Q9 though.
