I think that we should be raising. With that sizing it looks more like a blocking bet than someone who just hit a boat with 99. We can still potentially get paid off by hands like 109s or A10 and villain is rarely going to have a deuce. I can see myself just calling in game in this situation but I think that it's probably leaving value on the table. I'm curious as to whether everyone feels the same way or if this isn't that clear cut.

i would like to hear some pros talking about this spot. personally i really dont know what to do in this spot whether to raise or call.
but its an easy call

raise/fold seems standard, and not going huge something like 11.78- 12.55$. Most fishes wont shove 44 vs your raise, if he shoves regardless folding.

I think this is a spot where I would need to KNOW that my opponent was very bad/loose to raise here.

I get that we have reason to believe here that he is a weak player, but if this hand is all I have to go by, I am probably just going to call on the river.

I think we may be slightly overestimating the likelihood that he will call with worse here. I can easily many players (even weaker ones) finding folds here with JT, KT, AT, etc.

easy raise
