    nothing wrong, you push a mid pair with an M of 7.5 Vs a minimum raiser that could have raised aything from 22+ to QJ+ or Ax and he called with almost 2:1 pot odds, looks like standard play to me...

    If you play it, its like this IMHO.

    Raising another amount is out of question and calling is really weak... can you fold 99 at that point?

    KJ

    MP2's preflop raise is weak.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    Nothing wrong at all. It would be horrible to fold this hand and with 10bb's the only right thing to do here is push.
