This is something I've encountered a few times in the past several days. Pocket 9's in the SB. It is raised from UTG or UTG+1 which conveys great strength and then folded around to me. Is folding too weak? Most times at least 1 OC will flop and I am out of position and most likely going to have to fold to any aggression if I don't hit my set. In the BB I will play it for 1 bet, but I'm not entirely sure how to procede in the SB. With pocket 7's a couple of times it was an easy fold, but with 9's I don't feel entirely comfortable folding or calling, what do you guys do? I've also toyed with raising, but you aren't getting anyone to fold OC in a $1/$2 or $2/$4 game most of the time and I'd still be out of position after the flop.
