First post on here so go easy....
Just starting to review 'strange' hands in PT4 as I finish my sessions and this is one I'm struggling on a little as to the correct line on the Turn. Broad context is I was deep stack in BB vs short stacked SB and one limper UTG.
So here it is
pokerstars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.08/$0.16 - 6 players
Replay this hand on CardsChat
UTG: $17.67 (110 bb)
MP: $10.72 (67 bb)
CO: $12.80 (80 bb)
BU: $16.22 (101 bb)
SB: $7.18 (45 bb)
BB (Hero): $36.89 (231 bb)
Pre-Flop: ($0.40) Hero is BB with 9♣ T♠
UTG calls $0.16, 1 fold, CO checks, 1 fold, SB calls $0.08, Hero checks
Flop: ($0.64) A♣ T♦ 5♠ (4 players)
SB bets $0.16, Hero raises to $0.48, 2 players fold, SB calls $0.32
Turn: ($1.60) 9♥ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.77, SB raises to $3.84, Hero raises to $6.91, SB calls $2.70 (all-in)
My two questions are:
My real-time thought process at the table was: Weak player, short stack, probably tried to limp a strong hand like AK/AQ, lets stack off!

My two questions are:
- Should this even be a question or should I have just open raised from the BB and ranged my opponents somewhat? I don't see T9o as a BB raise other than the occasional bluff facing steal attempt, however given weak play of UTG and SB maybe I should have been raising here?
- Facing the check-raise on the turn with 2 pair and Villain's stack size this felt like a clear shove/fold decision. What is the view on shoving here vs folding?
My real-time thought process at the table was: Weak player, short stack, probably tried to limp a strong hand like AK/AQ, lets stack off!
- Being generous and putting Villain on a value heavy range of {A9+,A5, 99+, 55} (Trips, Top pockets, Top 2 pair and Ace strong kicker) at the turn, I'm 55/45 to win and so intuitively feels like a good shove.
- That said, are they really calling OOP preflop with {JJ+, AQ} rather than open raising?! Removing those puts them on a range that has me a 30/70 underdog. Given they generally seemed a weak player with low aggression, coupled with the fact that AT/A5 are very callable PF, possibly this should have been a fold.
- Even if you credit Villian with a very strong range removing JJ+ and AQ, I'm getting 2:1 pot odds on the call and we know the chips are going in on the river given their stack would be >25% of pot so again lean towards shoving even if I am behind 30/70 behind as it feels marginal by the math
