this looks like it has a very good chance of being a blind steal. is this one of those oppurtunities to defend the blind?

If by defend you mean push, I wouldnt. Calling seems horrible, so its push or fold. Without a read this is tough, but I'd fold.

Nah. You're in the small blind, still have a decent stack, and A9 just isn't that good. Let the BB fight it out with the raiser if he wants.

Hero considers the price of tea in china and decides the t500 saved might be worth few packs when ITM. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Definitely I fold here, unless button has raised the last 5 pots pre-flop.
