Kind of early in a MTT satellite my stack in the upper 35% (~2.6k), blinds 25-50.



Almost everybody has limped to me, in middle position. I hold pocket 9's. I just call.



Player (no info) to the immediate right of the button raises ~360.



Folded to me.



Given just what I've given, do I call, fold, or shove?

First of all, don't just call, raise or fold.

How many more chips does he have left?

What was the buyin? Is it turbo?

Given the spot, and lack of information, I would fold. You have plenty of chips relative to the blind size and you can pick better spots.

Edit: 4 minutes, thought it was quicker.

It wasnt a turbo. Raiser had I think around double my stack.

After thinking about it some more I think here I would def. either push or fold. If I raise, I don't want to min raise, so it will take a good portion of my stack. So I'll push. But without knowing what the rest of the players will do and no info on the other player, I will fold in the future here. Its just a bad spot for any pocket lower then probably J's.

you cant raise as you would have raised initially with a big pair so you will get called with bigger pairs than yours and that is likely what he has. fold. you are out only 50 bucks. why go broke here over that.
