Hand early in a friendly home game
Game makeup is 50% seasoned players and 50% neighbours, with 1 uber fish and 1 first timer. 10 handed, 500 chips to start, blinds just hit 10/20.
I am in the BB, a couple limps, including the button. The SB tripples it to 60. I have :9h :9d.
I call the raise, as do 2 others, so the pot is approx 150 chips.
Flop is: :6c :7h :9c
I am thinking that I really like this flop. The button and SB are decent players, but the SB plays a wide range. I was planning to c/r all in on any bet. So I check.
Mid pos player folds to no bet. While the table is explaining what a check is (this was the new guy), button leads out for 150. This basically pot-commits him since he only has another 100 back.
SB goes over the top for 400, again only leaving him about 100 back.
I have the SB covered, but by only about 50 chips.
Is this an easy call? Since the table is pretty weak do you wait for a better spot? Thoughts on what the button and SB have?

Comments
however, if i had played this hand i would have led out with a pot sized bet on the flop for two reasons: i) i'm EP and i don't want it checked around to see a possible straight or flush hit on the turn; and ii) i'm playing with newbs (i.e. no reason to get fancy and c/r them because in my experience most newbs don't understand/respect a c/r anyway).
It is early in the tournament, I have an above avg stack, I don't have a lot invested in this pot, I feel that since the field is weak, I will have many other chances to get good hands/play big pots.
Do you still go for the jugular?
Spoiler in white:
I did fold, button had J7o for middle pair and a bad draw (he was tilting from a previous hand, donk!) the SB had KKo with no club.

Where exactly do you think you are going to find better spots?
What if the hands I was up against were JTo and AKcc ?

BRAG - Soon after was chip leader, HU AJ lost to A9 when I was 3:1, ended up 2nd.
Your worst case is Tc 8C which is almost 70% to win. If he had AcKc you'd be ahead huge so get it in there
