This is from the final of the stars $55 rebuy tonight, just a bit of background this guy had been unlucky a few hands previously but wasn't on tilt i don't think. I was also into the business end of

the $162 final on Party at the same time so this didn't have my undivided attention . I had been playing fairly tight and only shown a set of 99 which i just flat called preflop.

Discussed this with Pab and we both (he has) have decided what I should have done.

I ended up coming 5th and thought this was a missed opportunity.

I call. I can't see how you can raise to 90k then pass.

Why dont you fancy taking a flop in position here? you are  deepish. I don't think I reraise here unless I am prepared to call a push.

What he said.

yep.
