Villain was unknown. How should i play this hand in deep table. I raised flop for protection and value, but is it good idea, can i call if he push?

3betting on the flop is one option, you could also call on the flop and lead out safe (= non- :heart:) turns.
I don't think we can fold at any point since he really only reps 99, so both options are ok because both of them look very strong. I prefer the 2nd one because it keeps my callingrange wider and the money gets in with better equity on the turn.
I think calling the flop and checking the turn is bad because he can check back FDs on the turn (at least if we don't know whether he fires FDs on the turn).
