Villain has taken down many uncontested pots, so it's hard to read his starting hand selection. It seems like he raises any two broadways (in any pos). His PT stats are: 31.25/16.07 over 110+ hands. He seems to utilize position nicely, more of his raises are in LP and he's more aggressive Post-flop in LP. What does his pre-flop RE-raise signal? I figured after the flop that I'm good for a push since it's unlikely we both have spades, and I could still make my set. That gives me 11 outs if my assumptions are correct... I thought a push might make him fold anything except AA, KK, etc... so I could even induce a fold from TT or JJ. Thoughts on my play? I'm interested in hearing what everyone else would have done.

thats quite a dangerous flop there. If he's that aggro you can consider re-raising pre-flop with your 9's a sizeable amount to 'tell' him to back off, then the only way he's gonna call or raise is when he's holding something decent unless he likes to gamble crap hands for lots of money, in which case you are making the right move anyway.

Unless he's super aggro all the time you gotta take it that he picked up a decent hand. And on this flop, As with any hand has a ton of outs. A low connector or gapper also puts you in tough spots, any higher spade than your nine is 11 outs right there.
Consider he has something like KsQx
'It seems like he raises any two broadways '

To be honest i would have either tested him preflop or looked for a set and folded a crap flop. The suited low connected thing looks good for you at first but you're gonna be behind or marginally behind a lot of the time if he has the outs.
So i'd have folded this one on the flop if i'd carried out the same pre-flop actions as you.
Unless you think he's just a maniacal bluffer dude who is full of it, then all in isnt so bad here with your 9 of spades as a backup.

you cant handle the truth!

Did you minraise preflop or is that just how that HH looks (meaning raise $2 to $3 instead of $1 to $2)? He's got AA, KK, or AKs.

I would take a shot on the flop and raise it as you did. The reraise of my raise tells me that my nines probably aren't good.

Yeah this was at GoPlay.ru (B2B). My pre-flop raise was from 1 to 3 EUR, and then Villain's RE-raise was to 8 EUR TOTAL. i.e:

He completes SB
I raise to 3 EUR
He RE-raises to 8 EUR
I call

It was hard to tell what his flop bet indicates, i.e could be he missed the flop w/ his 2 broadways and is trying to bluff, or he has a high PP trying to protect his hand, or.... but I thought I would be good w/ my flop overpair (of spades) enough of the time to RE-raise ALL-IN.
