Re: was i right to push or did i push my luck too far? perhaps one bet to many but many would do the same. You were aso ahead when money went in. For once.

Re: was i right to push or did i push my luck too far? i think you were right:ok if you push constantly chances are the opponents are gonna call lighter, so if you have a really decent holding (9s with 4 players looks good to me;)) then the push is even more worthwhile. you do still need a double thru so i'd jump on it.

Re: was i right to push or did i push my luck too far? I think I would have done the same here Al. As Uber says, the more you push, the lighter the calls will be, and taken in isolation 99 is dynamite four handed.
