Did I mess up, or was this inevitable? (1 Viewer)

MTT at a local card room - down to the final 8 (all in the money, bubble just burst) from an original 45.

Blinds at 8K/16K
average stack is around 220k; I'm pretty much in a 3 way tie for short stack.

Action
UTG (300k stack) - limps
folds to hijack
Hijack (175k stack) - limps
folds to hero in SB
Hero (110k stack) - looks down at 99
BB (yet to act, 500k stack)

What's your action here?

Shove

You have about 7 BB. You shove and take your chances. It is way better than many other hands you could get in this spot like K8, Q9, or A4.

Oh and I should add that when you push you want a call - but just one.

Ok - this confirms. I did shove. BB had AA. Thus is poker

You made the right move, sometimes you just run into it.

Rather than going thru and liking all the previous posts (as I started doing), I'll just say it on my own.

You should have shoved.

Only thing you did wrong was fail to flop a set, compounded by subsequent failures on the turn and river. Live and learn.

Did you even bother to call for a 'One time!' ?

The UTG called for "9-Ball, Corner Pocket!" which was better than I had to say.
