9's aren't stealing....it's raising with the best hand.

I wouldn't be happy about the re-raise, but I think you have to call this....

$EV fold (F)= 0.2676
$EV call + win (W)= .3856
$EV call + lose (L) = 0.1636

You need to win (W-F)/(W-L) = 36.64% of the time for the call to be correct.

This is a call if does the move with more than 5% of the hands, roughly (88+,AJs+,KQs,AKo)
