    With your stack size here (20 BB) I'm going to fold. You really dont have very many chips for postflop play here is the main reason I'm folding. If you raise pre and get a caller, your not gonna like any flop without a 9. And obv if 1 over hits and you get action, now your REALLY in a kinky spot...just my 2 cents

    With your stack I raise 2.5~ cbet a caller and then back off. Multiple callers depends on the board. I'm probably wrong though because I don't think I've ever won a pot in that spot w/out poppin a 9 on the flop. But that's what I do.

    EDIT: And fold to repop.
