    I've been working on ICM strategy quite a bit in the lower levels, and I'm pretty sure I played this incorrectly. With 99, folded to me in the SB, is it a wise decision to push here? Since I am way shorter than the big stack and already in the money, I would think so. I mean, I just hate my play on 4th street, though it does signal to him that I am pot committed.

    i like the raise to 900 if you are planning on folding to a reraise PF (i.e. waiting on shorter stack to get 3rd). otherwise just push it in. you dont necessarily want action here. you will take it if it comes at the price of allin but you arent starving for it, you know...

    that is a great flop with just 1 over (not coordinated). i bet 1/2 about pot on that flop instantly (yes you are pot committed after that and have to call a raise if he makes one).
