PS 22$ 99 preflop facing 3bet and flat repush/fold/call?

UTG1: 0
UTG2: 25771
UTG3: 41121
LJ: 33577 (Hero)
HJ: 26791
CO: 68244
BN: 16263
SB: 68591
BB: 32238
UTG: 30131

Preflop (1500) (9 Players)

Hero was dealt 9 9
UTG folds, UTG2 folds, UTG3 folds, Hero raises to 2000, HJ raises to 4875, CO folds, BN calls 4875, SB folds, UTG1 folds, Hero calls 2875

HJ was unknown
BTN mega fish that could called here with all sort of junk.

It's close to itm bubble

Whats optimal action for hero here? Fold, repush or call for set mining/playing post flop?

I did called but think it was terrible play that made me lost that hand post flop.

Such spots suck when you have no reads on the 3-bettor. Against an aggressive 3-bettor, I would for sure try to induce 5-bet shoves by 4-betting him. You're getting good odds for a call, but I think that the other two players are a little too shallow for profitably set mining here. Summing up, I would go for a shove here and expect a ton of folds from the 3-bettor (who has to fold so much since it's so close to the bubble) and expect calls from the BTN mega fish with Ac2s. But once again, this spot sucks since there are no 3-betting stats from the HJ.

Well, in spots like this when i'm facing a close decision, i like to see the 3betor's OPR, to see if he's a winning player or not, i expect this to be a move when i see a winning OPR from 3betor, because he's more likely to have the balls for it, from a loosing OPR, i'm prob just folding, the majority of the time he has it in my experience and even with the great odds, i'm prob gonna put myself in a dominated situation.

Anyways, i'm prob just jamming like David said, 3betor will fold a big % of the time in this spot, and since i don't give a fuck about the BB, just stuff.
