Easy fold.
Next hand.
Preflop seems way too loose to me. I'd actually typically fold K9s even if limped to on the button (it's borderline, I might overlimp some real marks), but actually opening it and not in LP after some limpers seems very meh to me, although I'm obviously nittier than most.
Have now setup a super awkward postflop spot with SPR 3.5. With a good at minimum TPTK (which is what we should usually have in small SPR pots) then probably an easy (or perhaps sigh) commit on drawy boards. But here just so awkward. We're really not ahead of any Kx. But there are most definitely draws. But if we call we'll only have about a PSB left, so what's our plan? Wait to see if half the deck kills our hand before getting the rest in? Making a hero fold after putting in a huge chunk of our stack / getting great odds on a blank if he continues?

Pre-flop with 30 in the pot already I think I like $60 better than $45. Ideally you need to get your raise size to an equilibrium where you are getting 0-1 loose passive callers per hand. Obviously that depends on your local pool. Flop I call the donk but definitely looking to check back turn and or river.
K9 suited is too wide from MP, especially for that small size. As played, call or fold. If I raised pre w/ this hand, I'd see a turn.
Did V just move to table or did you? You seem to know everyone else.
Ok
Hero call
Pot 260
Turn is 2♦
V donks 175, Hero???
We have 280 behind.
Just sigh-fold. Seriously, there is no other option. You are most likely toast -- if he's bluffing, good on him.
