UTG has been very tight, playing about one or two of the last 15 hands, blinds went up 5 hands ago. The button is a maniac and won his stack through a series of outdraws, the rest of the players have been playing to preserve their stacks not gain chips.

insta fold! At these blinds you're in good shape and I think at the very best you're a 45% here...this is an easy fold.

A9s should be +EV vs your opponents pushing range. The problem I see is there a are several left to act and losing this pot will put a major dent in your stack. I think it is somewhat close but I would fold and wait for a better opportunity.

People acting behind him are the least of his worries if he makes a habit of calling 60% of his stack with A9 at 150 blinds when he has 1400...This call is NOT +EV

Against a loose pushing range you are 50/50 with A9s. Against a tighter range (44+ A7o+, A5s+, KQ) you are a 55 to 45 dog. You are right, this is an easier fold than I anticipated.
