Far from money, I have a top 5 stacksize here.
3b Villain in CO is running 5/5 over 44 hands, but he’s got very good stats so I know he isn’t that nitty IRL.
OR is 18/5, has shown down A8 openlimp earlier.

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9 9
3 folds, MP2 calls 300, MP3 folds, CO raises to 1,000, BTN folds, Hero????
The first range I stoved against him here gave me 50% equity vs. his range.
I feel like a 3b folds out so many of his hands we are flipping against for a nice pot, and we often flip with plenty of dead money.
The issue is we are risking 7200 to take down this pot of 2k, when he gets to decide which instances we go to showdown-much of his calling range crushes me. I get about 37% equity vs. his get-it-in range.
I’m unconcerned about OR or the BB doing anything crazy with a light 4b.
What’s an appropriate 3b range for hero out of SB here?
Bumping this with another 99 hand:
Villain is 28/19/6 over 75 hands.

How's your own image in hand 1?
Regardless, good players ISO fish with a wide value range and now we're just into the antes so our good CO villain could begin opening up. I'm certainly raising here because we can't profitably play 99 OOP vs a good player.
I'm basically turning my hand to a bluff unless I know villain can really play back light here.

+1 i think 99 is super tricky flatting and villian isnt deep enough to set mine oop, i think our best play is to 3 bet fold to a solid CO player who has a very wide range isoing a limp from the C/O….you likely win the pot when you 3 bet and the times you 4 bet you shoudl have no problem folding and playing next hand
I'm not sure if 3b folding is very good here, especially if villain is a good reg because he should recognize it's a great spot for you to 3b and might 4b jam pretty wide. I prolly 3b to 2700 and call a 4b shove. If you lose you still have almost 45 bb's. It is odd that MP2 is limping with only 14 bb's here though. So that makes the cutoff's raise suspicious imo. If we 3b to 2700 and MP2 jams and so does cutoff then I think we can fold easily. Interesting hand, I like it.

i like it vs a thinking reg who could be jamming lots of hands, although we still flip vs most of this range,
but vs a standard MTT fish i dont htink they are isoing just because MP limps and is weak, i think your Avg player is isoing here because they have a good hand and is going to be piling only hands that dominate us (88+, AQo+) which is why i think this makes it a fine raise/fold and turn your hand into a bluff unless you know for sure they are capable
My image in the original hand was the most active at the table, but I hadn’t shown down any trash hands. Loose enough that I think he could 4b Aqo, AJs, and 77-88.
Jude, at first I was worried about the 14bb limp too, but notecaddy showed his last showdown limp to be A8o, so I felt my 99 was crushing his limp range. Wouldn’t it be reasonable and profitable for CO to ISO hands like KQ, J10s, or 66 IP against this weak limp?
