meh, maybe yall are right, but i think it def. depends on reads on the big stack. If its a LAG 2+2er then im prolly calling, but if its a non-thinking player and/or average/tight player, then im mucking i think.

if that's true i'm raising less often. the raise really depends on how many people you are folding to. the more folding, the less likely i'm raising.. it's just throwing away chips.

I raise/call here vs every stack.

The range of a re-raise from an UTG+1 raise from a big stack should crush a hand like 99..AK and overpair only do that.

You still have an M of about 10. What is the point in shoving all in here? You're only going to get called by a better hand or over cards. Especially since you've been very active lately too. If you have Aces or Kings and shove all in here, I like that play. But 99, that's just dumb, at least I think. I would probably open the pot up here for about 1500 or so (2.5-3x) If you make it 1500-2000 to go, then a MP player may end up moving all in for 3000-6000 and now you'd consider a call at this point, hoping your in a race situation.
