Live Tournament hand...

First time playing poker for about 6 months. $50 tournament with one $50 rebuy at lucky chances. It was a couple days ago, but I think the details are roughly correct:

Blinds 25/50. I've taken my rebuy, so I have T2500. Most players at the table have ~T1000 (have not taken rebuy). No reads on the players in this hand. 3 limpers plus the SB completes to me in the BB, where I find 99. I check.

So 5 to the flop with a pot of T250.
Flop is 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (neither of my 9s is a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] fwiw). SB checks. I check. EP bets 200. MP calls. All fold to me (no one between me and EP). EP and MP both have between 900-1000. I push.

Standard? Pretty awful players, so I didn't see a point to raising preflop; just going to create a multiway pot out of position. If I thought I could have gotten everyone but one player to fold, I might have gone with raise-to-300, push any flop.
