Push in and take it down. If there's a bigger 9 out there, that's life.

I shove it all in. Hopefully I win the pot unimproved. Hopefully if someone calls they just have overcards.

You really want overcards to fold. Survival is the key, not risking losing the pot for a comparatively small amount of extra chips.

I think it's hard to call a bet if you check, or a raise if you make a smallish bet, since your stack is too small to make someone fold.

For how small your stack is compared to the blinds and the current size of the pot, it's tough to let go of the hand, so I don't like check-folding.

Of course, I'm not very good at this game, so you should probably do something completely different.
