[MPB]

I would'n consider a raise from MP1 a steal, so whe're not really in need to defend. And 79s are not really connectors but one-gaps.
Since the playability of this hands on pretty much every flop but OESDs and/or flushdraws is very limited I'm folding this kind of hand all the time except maybe when I know I can easily outplay the preflop raiser with 9 high on the flop.
