never really sure what these donks up to, can we get it in here?
It wont let me copy the hand history so i try to describe best i can:

0.05/0.10 HENL 6-max at 888poker
the 2 players in the hand are known donks and have both a stack about 50bb

hero is button with Ts9d
a donk limps from UTG, fold, fold
hero limps behind to see a cheap flop and there is another donk in the SB who could 3bet
he calls the 0.5bb and BB checks

Flop: 5c9c8c
SB bets pot, fold, call, call

Turn: Td, 16bb
SB bets tiny 3bb and UTG reraises about half his stack to 25bb

Hero??

Raise pre-flop... don't limp behind here. You want to ISO those donks in position.

On turn think you need to shove there. Think for that amount left and the amount of Flush + pair combos your opponent can have here you have to stack of w/ top two.. if they are indeed donks. They could even be raising w/ worse (T8,89).

Guessing he has QJ. When you post a hand, post a range for your opponent, so you're getting the kind of feedback you need to understand these spots better. It will help you immensely if you do so.

Top two pair is pretty good here you definitely shouldn't fold.
Villain raising on the T would indicate a straight.
He could also be doing this with a lesser two pair as he has limped in.
Pretty awful spot but cannot fold given the stack sizes. I'd call turn and then see how the river is.

It's really marginal T9s is probably worth an iso raise and then play pot control from there.

Did you guys notice we are 50bb deep? Still raising pre is better with this hand?

Thats what I thought too. I didn't have many hands history with them but they where super aggro like jamming very lose. I usually iso with a stronger hand where i can call a jam preflop.
Could we even consider folding T9o preflop?

after a raise on the Board with a flash and a straight, fold is a good idea
