Default it\'s not good

very simply, with him sitting behind 2200 chips, needing to call only 390 more, it's too good of a chance that he would call you and J9s is not a great hand to goto show down with.

if you really want to play back, just call him and push on FLOP, much easier success.

Agreed. You've got no PF fold equity, you're not "playing back" at a blind steal - you're electing to make your stand with T9s and run it to the river. By re-raising pre-flop, its almost exactly like you're calling all-in here.

If you are making your stand with this hand, it seems like an ideal spot for the stop + go to try to build some kind of fold equity.

Otherwise I guess its time to steal two of the next three hands while you've still got a little FE left...
