What's important here is V's image. Have you seen him do anything like this yet? What type of hand was it?
As Playbig2000 stated, players at 1/2NL live just don't shove like this with 99/TT/JJ pretty much ever unless they're pretty agro.
In a typical rec 1/2 game I can find a fold here often enough. You really have to decide if V is capable of doing this with AQs+ or a pair JJ or lower.
V has been playing relatively tight/agg. He raised his button with 33 once and c-bet $30 a 10-high flop where I had J-10 (he rivered a 3). He is mid-to-late 30s WG. $17 was about norm for the table, maybe a little bigger since I was going to be OOP for the rest of the hand.
I really wanted to call but I was 5 hours in and up for the night and didn't want to lose it all to AK, KK, or AA. I thought if he'd noticed how I was playing he put me on a tight range, especially UTG, so I felt he was strong. He certainly wasn't a fish. He did get it in once before pre with AK suited, which is probably the bottom of his range.
UTG+1 - young Korean - had us both covered. (He folded, so he wouldn't have called my re-shove.)
