Is it a leak for me if im always doing these kinds of raises? You have A9 on the button which is a pretty good hand and you have position. Only thing im afraid of is that bb has a huge stack.

Ye thats why I was thinking about folding, BB is a calling donk and I pretty much knew he would call here...

What should your raise range be here? Any pocket pair? Any Ax? Assuming that sb and bb arent complete morons.
