push with 99 ?

I like the push too...you are ahead most of the time AND villain hasn't put in so much that he is pot committed, seems like a good place to make a stand and get the dead money on top of the raise. I would consider the raise to 1800 only if you had opponents handily covered, but in this case, if he plays back at you, you probably have to fold thinking that, at best, you are on the better side of a race. If it is going to be a race, make him pay to enter it.
