I have gone over a few hundred hands in my 5nl database, and a few hundred in my 25nl, plus a few hundred in my 50nl.
I don't see these 9x raises yet. I have too many hands to go through.
If, the ranges are anecdotally equivalent to what DooDoo has posted, then yes, you should call. I don't see AA, KK, QQ, JJ in those ranges. I see middle pairs, and someone with higher broadway Ax trying to be aggressive.
If you feel better, reserve your 3bet range for calling the 9x open. Otherwise, I treat it as the higher end of my flatting range.
