Correct move to stick my chips in considering it was a final table ?

[Royal Flush]

What did you have?? 99?

[Watertight]

yeh had pocket 9's . Think i should of considered how massive the chip leaders stack was .

[Wardonkey]

Review that hand history mate. It lacks a lot of information which makes a meaningful analysis impossible...

Your all-in is more than reasonable, at this stage you don't need a great (or any) hand to push in. If your worrying that pushing all-in with 99 and only 4 big blinds might be overly aggressive then your problems probably lie in the other direction.

[jezza777]

your all in is fine although I would make the move preflop, If you think the 99 is ahead and worthy of a call then you must push in .
Also you called preflop then called an all in on the flop there is no aggression shown from you in this hand in fact I think you played it too weakly. ( i only comment on this due to the title of the post).

good luck

[Watertight]

Yeh think i should maybe loosen up on the final table happening quite a bit at the moment , hit the final table and seem to tighten up . Was playing well earlier stealing blinds  and got to the final table about 3rd in chip count although the chip leader then still had a massive stack. I then lost a few chips and the next thing i know i was pushing with 99 . Think i need to start playing a wider range of hands at final table .
Cheers for the advice  

[jezza777]

No sorry you push on the flop so you played the hand fine, I just would have pushed preflop (it's late!)

[Wardonkey]

Apologies

I just read thru' your hand history again and I must confess I was a bit lazy the first time. The situation is in fact a lot more marginal I had thought. You have 8 big blinds so you have a little room for manouver. The smallest stack has pushed in and been flat called by the monster stack, there are 2 players to act behind you.

Your flat call was the worst play, as you gave tarka the odds to see cheap flop. Your choices here are pass or all-in.

I'm probably passing here, I much prefer to get my chips in first, and you are probably against a minimum of 2 overcards.
