    Table '78995117 20' 9-max Seat #7 is the button

    Seat 2: killbretshaz (2640 in chips) is sitting out
    Seat 3: zocke305 (11117 in chips)

    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to FaulBreitner [9s Ad]
    frane20: folds
    killbretshaz: folds
    zocke305: calls 200
    FaulBreitner: ??????

    limper is a calling station, I've been playing pretty solid the whole sng, but I don't think somebody takes notice of that in a 4$ sng. Im down to 24 BBs. So, what to do here?

    I folded too, just wanted to know if there were differing opinions, given the light limper and my thight image (even if it doesn't get noticed.)

    u can find so many spots where u have sooooo much more of an advantage. just be patient and have basic push fold strategy and u will kill these things.

    Well, remember something, you are saying that no one notices your image in these things, yet you want to make a move based on it. Don't do it. Don't ever expect to get any bonus for being tight in these things (much like I never expect a penalty for being tight in these things).

    You have time. A9 is turning into one of my most hated hands. Many times it's ahead, but it's not strong enough to make a move with. I hate limping here, and I hate pushing here. Only thing I think you can do here is fold. Now, if you didn't have as many chips, you could gamble here. But, you really don't need to (one thing I have to stop myself is making these pushes. Sure, it's nice to pick up 500 chips, but it isn't worth your stack).
