Blind Defense (General Thoughts)

[Yo'Maha]

I agree that you have to take a stand with your blinds from time to time for a number of reasons.

I also believe that when you do, J9s is well suited to use to do this.

I don't believe you do it by calling though. If you're going to play this hand OOP against a TAG opponent, pump it up PF and C-bet the flop 1/2 - 3/4 the pot. If you are called or RR.....be prepared to fold up shop and wait for a better opportunity.
