I obviously could have been on a steal with the raise there, so I know he doesn't need much of a hand to push back with. I was very surprised to see 92o though. And I ended up bubbling out because of this.

Egh.

Believe it or not I saw a guy try to steal in a NL ring game today with 92o on the button. BB called, both checked the flop, BB bet the turn, Button called on a board of 8AQQ none of his suit, and caught a 2 on the river to beat BB's T9s. The stealer had a PFR% of almost 25 and ended up quadrupling his stack before he left. Amazing.

But with 92 in a tournament, I'm almost praying that someone tries to take the my blind.
