Default Middle Set, Monotone Flop

Wrinkle here is that MP is a total lagtard - running at 70/35/3 over about a hundred hands and not playing well (got his big stack on multiple suckouts). I'm in total trap and stack mode on him. I'm not sure what to make of his over raise, nor what of the SB's bet. SB has been patiently waiting for a hand not doing much. Not sure if this situation is an autopush or not.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP ($78.40)
Hero ($27.55)
SB ($23.30)
BB ($14.45)
UTG ($23.75)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $1.25</font>, Hero calls $1.25, SB calls $1.15, BB calls $1.

Flop: ($5) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $2</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $9.75</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???</font>

i am sure against this MP it is autopush.
the only scary thing is SB, but people tend to slowplay made flushes on monotone boards so i wouldn't put SB on the flush.

shove. At these limits I'm almost never worried about the flush as people will play J9, AJ, KJ, and obviously 55 the same way. If he does have the flush you have re-draws.

Should we give the small blind credit for recognizing how laggy MP is also? If he knows that and bets into him anyway, what kind of range can we reasonably put him on?

Even better if SB realizes MP's lag-tard-ness. SB's range will be wider, not narrower. Insta-shove this pot expecting a call from MP. Time to double up!

With position I felt like this was a great spot to potentially stack him on a good looking flop. When people actually pushed back at him - pre-flop especially - he had a tendency to back off the accelerator.

I was looking to trap him and was confident enough in my ability to read the table post-flop and dump the nines if need be that I felt it was worthwhile to just call and look to win a big pot when he pushed against me drawing dead or something.
