Seems standard. I’d prefer a better 9, but such is life.

Absolutely no problem. With you as short stack this open is a fine size, but if you were deeper I would prefer a bigger open, the aim being to force anybody who reraises to face a commitment decision predraw when you 4b ship. In this case you can open quite small because your stack is a comfortable ship anyway.

Not sure what else you can do. If deeper you'd probably just call the raise, right?

I'd prefer a wheel, myself. But, yeah, standard. Strong hand. LOL variance.
