Poker Stars $4.00+$0.40 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t15/t30 Blinds - 8 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

BTN: t5305
SB: t2645
Hero (BB): t2230
UTG: t2645
UTG+1: t755
MP1: t3955
MP2: t3820
CO: t2940

Pre Flop: Hero is BB with 9

UTG calls t30, 2 folds, MP2 calls t30, CO raises to t270, 2folds, Hero ????

Just got moved to the table, really unsure of what to do here. Don't have the implied odds to setmine, I might as well have 33 if I shove/3-bet and trying to play this OOP on the flop seems like a money loser to me.

you fold... especialy with people to act after you, you only ever get called by a batter hand or AK either way your either miles behind or coin flipping.

You've obv never played a $4 180 on Stars.

I'm gonna call FWIW also. I'm just not folding in the $ \4 180's this early. If i bust, I'll just fire up another one of these since they run so constantly. I'm looking to double or triple up and then basically just coast to the FT of these things w/o ever finding myself in another tough decision the whole thing.

maybe this happens to some people, but whenever i try to setmine with 99 after raisers, the flop is always AQK coordinated. or I get it in and JJ peels it on the turn.

but that's not why i fold. i fold because like OP said, 99=33 if we're setmining only, and i'd fold 33 instantly.

good point, i guess i dont look at it that way when i think of 99. i think im felting this on a 7 high flop against a random in the 4.40 and thats probably real bad.

fold as well as TT and AQ, shove JJ and AK. don't try to setmine here, you won't hit the flop well enough, if you had 3k+ then by all means call, but I would like more than 3k since you are OOP too (villian covers obv). AQ I can see a call sometimes i guess.

fold.

99 is the shiest calling raises with people behind you and oop.

for all x, where x=4/180

TT: 3bet/call shove > fold > call
AQ: fold > 3bet > call

imo
