Default So, what is the right price (if any) to call here?

Some of you have indicated you feel the only way I am coming back over the top all-in is with a higher pocket pair than 99. Others have said they might think my holding is as weak as 66, but probably nothing less than that.

My question then becomes this:

If you believe I am five-betting all-in with nothing less than a pair of sixes, then how likely is it that your pair of 9's is actually the best hand at this point? And, if you assume my initial re-raise was not done with a weak hand (even if it were, a second re-raise all-in should have erased those doubts), then do you believe you really are "priced in" by calling the last bet with a holding that almost certainly is no better than a coin-flip?

Just out of curiousity, how many of you feel that, as played, I am holding something that in fact is beating 99 pre-flop?

As always, I am enjoying this discussion.
