I'm not sure if this is a good spot for defend. He isn't folding to re-steals very often but he is overly aggresive postflop and I feel an edge over him. I am not surprised with his raise here because first of all he is raising 17% of the flops IP (even in 3Bet pots) and this board looks really good for it. I'm definetely not folding here a pair + OESD, but I don't really know if I should 3bet on this flop. As played, would you just call the turn, to let him bluff again, or maybe just min x/r and push the river...

hi

since this guy folds so little both preflop and postflop, i don't like 3betting this. your adjustment should be to 3bet a value heavy depolarized range (good pairs/high cards).

as played, i would already x/c flop, also x/c any turn and x/decide river. you have a good draw with showdown value and your checks should be attacked often, so it's a decent spot to bluffcatch/potcontrol/guarantee yourself to see all 5 community cards.

as played as played, x/c turn as well. i'm not giving him too much credit for a set here when he raises that low on this board and stack depth, and given your reads and stats he should have a fair amount of air and he's not afraid to continue his aggression up to the river, so just let him try to rep the 9.
if you shove he's not calling worse hands, and if you x/minr your range is pretty much face up as a 9 and he can play his draws perfectly (pot odds).
