V doesn't appear to be a donk but no sensible sample.

I really was moving my mouse back and forth, call/fold/push...lol.

I thought, not enough chips to flat? A bit strong to fold, but pushing v MP a bit optimistic?

I'm running some of these situations through Equilab, but I'm still guessing yet at the table.

PokerStars - $0.75+$0.07|100/200 Ante 25 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 3,000
BB: 6,095
UTG: 2,925
UTG+1: 7,655
MP: 3,607
Hero (MP+1): 3,809
CO: 5,460
BTN: 9,051

8 players post ante of 25, SB posts SB 100, BB posts BB 200

Pre Flop: (pot: 500) Hero has 9♣ 9♥

fold, fold, MP raises to 400

Hero?

Advice appreciated as ever.

Hey Gadget!

My standard line is shove... Against most players you're not doing anything wrong with that and I think its the best line most of the times!

Thank you very much, I seem to be getting a few of these right by accident!

Hey,

It's a shove or fold in this instance. I don't think at these stakes you are going to get a fold with a small 3 bet and your stack doesn't really warrant it. At higher stakes I would go this route.

Both you guys have effective stack sizes of 20bb's, I think shoving will give enough fold equity for the villain to fold or we hope he calls with a lower power and an Ax type of hand that bricks.

The only time I would fold if the guy is a super-nit and has not been playing many hands let alone raising.

It's worth making attention to details such as how oftern this guy is raising from which position when he is first in the pot. If he is open raising each time as the first to enter, then defo 3 bet jam

aq shove, aj/a10 depends on the player... kqo could be a jam... if it would be against lateraises and you would ip I would flat aj, kqs and qjs -> because those hands play postflop better!
