hello out there, it's my first post on this forum so i'd really like to see some feedback to the following from some more expirienced players.
i usually play rush mtt's and sng's at fulltilt.

my current possition was 150 out of 1200+ players in a rush mtt guarantee tournament.my stack was about 9000 chips when i found myself in early potition with KK and the blinds were 40-80. i raise to 4bb's and i get a caller from the bb or sb (not quite sure but not a big difference). that guy had about 11500 chips. flop comes out : 9 6 2 rainbow . he checks the flop and i check back in order to trap him. turn is Q and i see him bet about 2/3 of the pot so i guess he had a hand like A Q or QK or he was trying to steal the pot. so i 2.5 reraise him and he goes all in after a while.. how would u play this hand and why?
my decision was to call him just to see that he had 3 of a kind (9's)

thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english :P

overpairs are not trap hands. You want to keep the pot small postflop. Checking back flop is fine, but call turn and call river NOT raise turn. If 100bb go into the pot with an overpair, you are always behind. Call turn and if he checks river you bet, if he bets you call.
