    Default $16 - 99 CO BB=100

    How to play 99 here? Preflop and on flop.
    SB is very loose. 65/8 stats.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) by Hand Converter CG

    MP (t3175)
    Hero (t1500)
    Button (t1340)
    SB (t4085)
    BB (t2260)
    UTG (t1140)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 9h, 9c.
    2 folds, Hero raises to t250, 1 fold, SB calls t200, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t600) Qc, 5h, 3c (2 players)
    SB bets t200, Hero ??
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    Preflop is fine though I usually make it 300. Just call the flop bet, call a small turn bet as well. 65/8 sounds awfully passive and when someone with stats like that donkbets you, alarm bells should start ringing...

    I call the flop donkbet and see what he does on the turn. If he fires again then get out, if he checks then check behind and see if you can get a cheap/free showdown.

    He most likely will donk-min-defend bet again on the turn and theres a fair chance card is T+. What about pushing over?

    That sounds like a very good way to get all worse hands to fold and all better hands to call...

    Ya, I was going to say that only better hands will call a shove on the flop. A lot of opps will donkbet with weak hands like middle/bottom pair/nothing but give up if their donkbet is called and check the turn.
