To assess this in a better way you would need some more stats.
I.e. vpip/pfr, general steal tendencies.

In my opinion this is either a 3b shove or a fold.
Stack depth is pretty bad for a 3b/fold option.

I am usually a nit in these spots and fold unless there is evidence that the villain has been stealing relentlessly, although that may be a mistake on my part.

I wouldn't shove against unknown. Call is fine. Never fold.

Shuving and calling are the two go to options here readless, you would need a very strong read to muck a9o vs miraise from the CO. If you are playing a solely push/fold game out of the bb w/ pretty much any stack depth you are likely making some big mistakes. You will be forced to c/f pretty often but thats ok since your automatically loosing by folding. I think shuving is the more standard play here vs pretty much anyone although I don't hate call. Its probably also worth noting that the btn having 4bb could change his open range.

shove or fold vs raise, eff stack is too short to flat and play post

we need reads/stats to 3b shove
