I wouldn't push over this, guys who make these donk bets are the same guys who will call without regard for the bubble.

i dont like a push here with you still having a nice lead on the bb.

a pocket pair will make up a decent chunk of sb's calling range and there is not one pp that he will fold if you push.

as weak/tight as it sounds, i think i just fold with these stacks. he is gonna bet 400 on the turn and 400 on the river and i just hate to give up my chip lead over the bb. i've never seen a guy donk 200 on the flop and then check the turn/river.

a lot of times in this spot i will raise to 1000 or so, but not in this spot on the bubble.

ug, I hate these situations but I fold this. he can call you way too wide. I normally just laugh to myself that he would call when I have TT and push over him.

Yeah it sucks but I think fold is correct. This bet is generally either middle pair, a draw or a set. Your 9 could complete the draw and you could be drawing dead.
