    Default tourney hand with 99

    was wondering if i played this hand correctly, especially the preflop part.
    the only thing i remember is that mp2 was pretty agressive, but he almost always had good pocket cards.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (9 handed) converter

    Hero (t14490)
    CO (t44073)
    Button (t42003)
    SB (t43855)
    BB (t51180)
    UTG (t14237)
    UTG+1 (t16455)
    MP1 (t13896)
    MP2 (t101994)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with , .
    3 folds, MP2 raises to t1800, Hero calls t1800, CO calls t1800, 1 fold, SB calls t1500, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t7300) , , (4 players)
    SB checks, MP2 checks, Hero checks, CO bets t1800, SB folds, MP2 calls t1800, Hero folds.

    Turn: (t10900) (2 players)
    MP2 checks, CO checks.

    River: (t10900) (2 players)
    MP2 bets t11600, CO raises to t23200, MP2 folds.

    Final Pot: t45700

    Looks to me like MP2 has trips. The call preflop is prolly too much for your chip stack. If you really like the hand you can reraise, but I'd prolly fold. Preflop is definately the key point, postflop seems pretty clear.

    not much you can do with your stack. i dont really like calling their for a set. you dont have enough of a stack to get paid off when you hit. im probably folding or pushing pf.

    since you called there isnt much you can do without a 9. pretty much have to check/fold unless you thought your hand is good then push flop

    You got roughly 25 BB left, fold and move on...

    A problem here is, you may very well be heads up going to the flop, in which case you'd much rather have raised. If others call after you called, even if you hit you're set you will have the problem of raising/slow playing to keep them in the hand. I'd make it ~4k here.
