Lurock,
In heads-up play a pair of 9's is not a junk hand, it's actually a premium hand. 3/4 and 2/3 are the absolute worst hands you can play simply because in HU play, it is most often the high-card that wins at showdown.
If you folded HU with a pp after a re-raise, you will be playing losing HU poker. Any high pp is worth going all-in with.
This hand was played stupidly by Crystal, but got the same old stupid pokerstars BS on the flop.
If I was Crystal here, I may have called Crapshoot's raise, but there's no way I re-raise with only 34s here. However, since Crystal did, she was pot committed since her raise put over half her chips in the pot. She should have just shoved in the first place if she was going to play it this way. At least that way, she retains some fold equity.
