If villain has a pair of Nines and a three-flush or a three-straight, (even a
three-straight-flush) the re-raise is good, so there's that. There may also be merit to re-raising Fourth to maintain control of the hand.
(I'm obviously making excuses for my mistake here...)

Since hero is showing a 9 door card it's less likely for the villain to hold split 9's, and also less likely for him to put the hero on split 9's. If we give the villain slowplayed pocket T's that have picked up a 3-card s/f draw, then he has hero
crushed and hero should not be raising, and should probably be folding. Kidding! I'm being a sarcastic ass b/c equity sims are a tricky business and there's no shame in being slightly off in an off-the-cuff calculation.
