Live poker (200NL) with $1/$3 blinds.

Hero is short-stacked and only has $140 (37bbs). Hero is new to the table and has no reads, but most players on this table are reasonably deep-stacked (from about $200 to about $1000) and the table seems to be a bit more aggressive than a typical 200NL live table.

Hero is UTG with 9h 9c and opens to $12
BTN calls and BB calls, both with about $250 stacks behind

$35 in pot (3 players)
Flop shows 9s 7s 5d

BB donks out $30, hero tanks and calls, BTN also calls

$120 in pot (3 players)
Turn shows 6c

BB shoves for $200
Hero tanks and calls $100 (all-in)

What do you think of the way I played this hand? I was planning to smooth call the flop and shove any non-spade turn, but my plan was ruined once this turn card came and I faced a donk shove.

Really dislike the flat of the flop donk bet, shoving the flop 100% of the time with your stack size, BB & BTN are going to call you with most all of their draws and any overpairs/2P/sets.

Yup, just shove flop and ride the variance

On the super de duper wet flop, raise the donk. We don't want more people joining in on the action with great odds, right? Our hand is not invincible. If you can win the pot right here, great. If villains want to chase draws, let them. But charge them!
