It"s early doors (I think - 9 players remain but blinds are 300/600??) and a pretty "safe" flop normally but there"s 3,600 in the middle and 6 players in. With an M of 8, I"d view this is a good opportunity for you to add almost 50% to your stack.
Risking it with a 2,600 bet should either take the 3,600 pot if no one has a 9 / a straight draw / lower flush draw. This bet will look like you"re protecting your 9 against a flush draw / flush draw against a 9 so few players should want to stay involved.
If someone comes over the top on the flop, I"m shipping it in.
If someone calls, and a 5, T or any club comes on the turn, I push. The only cards I dread here are another 9 or 6 which I will prob check > fold to. If the turn is a blank, I check to reassess after any bet on the turn.
M is still slightly around 5 (not good) but it"s a 9 handed game. I still have plenty time to find a premium hand to shove with.
