We're in day 1 of the DTD £300 monte carlo side event. 10k chips, 45 min clock, same structure as on the deepstack weekend. 99 runners and about 30-40 remain. Blinds are 300/600-50
Table has certainly been an interesting one as it's holding me, Greekstein, EvilPie and ChipRich.
So, I'm UTG playing just shy of 30k and look down at two nines. Sweet. So I raise to 1525.
I then get 3 callers.
Rich then shoves from the button for about 17k.
And it's back to me...
I don't think I've played with rich before and was actually somewhat suprised by his playstyle. He played a tigher game than I was expecting. That said, cos and matt were playing silly buggers all the time so this is probably wise lol. There was a previous hand where I doubled him up in the same spot. I raised UTG with 44 and called his shove from the button. I can't remember his exact hand here. It was some sort of Ax as I remember. We were racing at any rate. There were no limpers in this hand and the shove was for much less.
So, what do you do?
[ ] some sort of Ax
[X] AKred.
Flop of T J Q was ok

Anyway in the AJ<<<99 hand. When i shoved, i thought it was a decent spot. Im pretty sure the 2 peelers are folding, but when you re-jammed so quick, i obv thought i was dead.
[ ] Q 9 x flop helped me.
