    Alright so last night I was down to the final 18 in the Bodog 6k gar for $22, already in the money, like 270 people started I think. First maybe 2nd hand of the new table goes like this, I am one off the button(Buzz Lightyear):

    <table width="460" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="142"><tbody><tr><td>kennyb911 </td><td>1 </td><td></td><td>$2,800.000 </td></tr><tr><td>wsopchain2005 </td><td>2 </td><td></td><td>$24,557.50
    </td></tr><tr><td>Bazikon </td><td>3 </td><td></td><td>$17,880.00</td></tr><tr><td>Buzz Lightyear </td><td>4 </td><td>9 9 </td><td>$19,790.00</td></tr><tr><td>dwhit110 </td><td>5 </td><td></td><td>$4,510.00</td></tr><tr><td>KYDERBYFAN1 </td><td>6 </td><td></td><td>$20,140.00

    So I am one off the button with 99, I raise 2.5x BB to 2500, the button pushes behind me, SB folds and BB pushes. This makes a ~13k pot and two short stack all ins, I need to call 3.5k for a shot at 13k, knocking out two opponents and being 1st out of 16 left.

    So a couple questions:
    1. Right play trying to steal blinds?
    2. Call or Fold?
    3. If only the BB pushes and not the Button is it a call or fold?

    Any input on those, or any other aspects of the hand would be appreciated. Thanks.<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"></table>

    I'd say it's a pretty easy call-you're getting @3.7 to 1 odds on your money, shortstacks desparate, and it doesn't commit much of your stack. Odds are it will be a race situation. I call here. Plus, you're not stealing the blinds here with a pretty strong hand

    1. The pot is alrady @ 2400. I don`t like raising just to a PZB here. I always should raise a bit more, for not giving the blinds too good odds to call. Make its like 2900.

    2. IMO you easy call here. You don`t lose much stack and have already invested 2500. You mostly get a Flip vs. the BB.

    3. U can sonsider folding here. Depends on his stats and plays before.

    1. New table, little to no image / reads and big stack in SB, I really like your raise amount and play here.
    2, $14,500 in the middle and it cost you $4,500 to call (don't foget BB had $7K to start hand). This gives you 3:1 to call and you only need to beat the BB to make this profitable. So yeah I would call.
    3. Still calling
