Should I be folding this from the get-go? Anyone draw two? Patting the nine would be suicidal I think but I might be wrong. What about my post-draw play (particularly on the flop)? Would be interested in any thoughts on this hand.

I think you played it best, the guy is clearly spewing and trying to get all in, you can't do anything else.

I would probably fold pre unless I felt HJ was opening too many hands predraw. It certainly doesn't help that you have an apparent maniac, or at least someone probably on tilt, on your right. This is right at the bottom of my range though as I would 3-bet 8653x and any 87 w a 2.

Postdraw seems fine, the only really minor thing I sometimes do is just call his turn donk, then put the last bet in on the river rather than reraise him all in on the turn. This way, I think there is a small small chance he pats some like a 96 that may break on the turn if your reraise.

Thanks.
Yeah I thought this was close between 3-betting pre and folding. I did think the original raiser was opening quite a lot UTG and that swung it for me.

any 87 w a 2

If both blinds come along I presume you break off the 8 there.

I like that although I suppose there's also a small chance he could break a better 87 if I raise. But these get-it-all-in guys don't break much from what I've seen.

I would break the 8752x 3-ways. I think 8732x might be close 3-ways.

yeah I'm folding this pre, don't think it's horrible though if opponents are straightforward and passive.
