Default $2+0.25, 13x BB...holding 99 up against loose aggressive raiser

Probably dump the 99 right? This guy was raising pretty frequently, so I figured he could have lots of hands. In fact, I had seen him raise 3x in EP with Q9 just a few hands earlier. So figured 99 might be good for a push here. But I had seen him call a largish all-in earlier in the tourney with ATo, so a push isn't likely to make him fold two high cards, so in light of that, should I just fold and pick a better spot? That's what I started to think. What do you say? 99 isn't likely to be a huge favorite, unless he has a lower PP, but that is certainly possible, given his large raising range that apparently includes Q9o in EP.

Yeah this is super good given your read. he's capable of being on lots of stuff, and whether he calls wide or calls tight, we don't care much imo. If he calls tight, hooray lots of free moneys from folds. If he calls wide, hooray, Q9 and 55 call us. You'll get into a lot of races here but this is a push allllll day.

if he is opening wide (raising a lot of hands) shoving against him is best.
