Default 2-7 TD: rough hand with a rough redraw

I've been looking for holes in my game lately because of a rather fun downswing. Here's a spot where my play is fairly suspect, but does have some merits.

My opponent is a very active opponent. He loves to cap or three bet to try to force a break and then draw himself. If he makes a 9 against a pat hand, he will do this close to 100% of the time. Anyway, what do you do on the turn?

Euri10's TD converter

Hand number: 9654240-1797
Level: $5/$10
Players:
Hero($270) seat 2
BB($657) seat 4
Button($160) seat 5

Button at seat 5

Hero posts. BB posts.

Hand: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Round 1(0.75BB)

Button raises. Hero re-raises. BB folds. Button calls. Hero takes 2. Button takes 2.

Hand: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Round 2(3.25BB)

Hero bets. Button calls. Hero takes 1. Button takes 2.

Hand: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Round 3(4.25BB)

Hero bets. Button raises. Hero calls. Hero stands pat.

...so that's what I did. What would you do?

Seems fine to me. He did draw two, and he is very aggro. I'd play it the same, although I would chuck the 9 after the first draw.

I think tossing the 9 is the standard play. I'm keeping it because my opponent draws rough sometimes and I felt like mixing up my play.

I think this is a spot where it's reasonable to keep it some of the time.

keep in mind if your opponent is good you should probably keep the nine because if he sees you draw 2 again out of position he's going to make you pay for it.

I don't like the Round 1 re-raise, mainly because you're OOP. The other streets are standard given your read.
