Multi-Table Tourney, 2nd Hour, 400 left of 1200.
Table Texture is a bit tight, depending on who throws out the pre-flop raise. I'm in Big Blind with 9-9 and have been playing pretty solid. Nearly T1000 above average and 3rd-4th at my table.

UTG+1 raises my T150 blind to T600. He's one of the big stacks and has done this a few times successfully. Everyone folds.

I put him on a steal and go all-in with 2100. I can't call, can I? That would put me at 1500. Re-raise?

He would lose half his stack of T4000 if he loses, so now I'm the one on a steal, right?
I don't care to continue this hand, as with 9's, at best I'm in a coin flip.

To me, all-in is my only play, or fold, because calling, or even re-raising, makes me pot committed with only T1500 left.

He shows A-10 non-suited and catches 4 of a suit (while I caught another 9!!!)

This post is going in "strategy" also, sorry.
