This is one of those OPs the invite only rule is designed to keep out of HSNL.

First of all, if there is 6K is the pot on Stars, the blinds must be 1500/3000. You probably had 17xBB, which makes the push not as bad as it seemed initially.

Second of all, there is nothing wrong with M. However, an M of 9 sounds small, but it doesn't mean you should start open pushing any two. People are always justifying donk pushes like this by saying they have an M of 9 or whatever.

Open pushing here with 17xBB is playable with AJ or 33 or something, but not with 76s. Folding or raising 3xBB or less (and obviously folding to a reraise) are both playable.

Limping may be playable depending on your style and the players to act. Your stack size is better for limping than raising, but CO is not good position for a limp.

I would probably fold, since the play figures to be loose with the cash bubble being cleared fairly recently, and your stack size makes it easy for people to resteal on you.

In summary fold > small raise > limp > large raise > push. It is pretty close whether to raise or fold, but pushing is really bad.
