Do you defend the blind in the same way? my plan is to check-jam if CO bet the flop. Should I call if some of villains jam on my turn bet?

I'd fold pre unless villain is fairly LAG

I'd be calling if either villain shoves ott.

Check-jam flop? You think worse is going to call you? I also call preflop probably. Check/call flop and evaluate turn.

I don't really get why to check-jam and I'm trying to understand that. But the friend of mine said that : " it is a very good spot to check-jam because check/minRaise is for half of his stack, and he got place to rebluff" so it is stack deepness depended spot. I put it here with hope to find someone who will help with understanding this better. But if u have something diffrent to say about this hand I'm glad to read it too.

I'm defending if BTN is laggy or if SB is fishy.
Flop looks like x/c. Standard spot where he will fold only worst hands to your x/r so it's hard to raise for value and you can't raise for bluff (he's not folding AT).

I like your turn bet and bet sizing.

EDIT: you really don't rep much if you raise. You are shoving 55, 88, 99 pre. So 2 combo of T9s is all you can x/r for value here. This is why it's probably better to x/c with all hands you are willing to continue. Especially when your opponent is thinking player.
