THE SCENARIO

Blinds: 20,000-40,000 with a 5,000 ante

Your Hand: 9 9

Stack Sizes: You (1,575,000) Villain (1,255,000)

The Action: Six-handed at the final table, you raise to 145,000 from the cutoff seat with 9 9. The Villain calls from the big blind. On a flop of 8 5 3, the Villain checks and you bet 225,000. The Villain then check-raises all in. The Villain is a well-known, middle-aged tournament pro with a very impressive résumé, but you have no specific history that is relevant to this hand. What do you do?

YOUR OPTIONS

Option A: Fold

Option B: Call
