Default $60t - When in doubt, push \'em out?

PokerStars $55+5 Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t5145)
CO (t2905)
Button (t1650)
Hero (t2060)
BB (t1740)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t600</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero ?</font>

I've been second guessing myself a lot in these situations.
I'm not sure what the right thing to do is anymore. I'm tempted to fold.. but pushing has to be +ev
Anyone have any suggestions?

Why does "pushing have to be +EV?" A read would be nice, namely how'd he get all those chips? If UTG knows anything about position, I'm probably folding. TT+,AKo+ (maybe 99/AQ with a read) is my pretty default shove over range.

UTG is the loosest guy on the table at the moment.
He's limped and raised from all positions a few times lately and folded an openlimp to a push a few orbits ago.
I'm guessing his range is quite wide here, but I'm not sure if that is just wishful thinking!

I do know that it was 2 big pots although I did not see the critical hands at the time (multitabling)
I could look it up in the hand history, but that would give you more info than I had at the time.

If your read is correct 99 holds up pretty good against a wide range. If you trust it get it in.

Agreed. 99 looks pretty good against a LAG here.

Objectively 99 is good against a LAG player. More information would definitely be pertinent to this hand. Has he done this move before, if so, what did he have? How big has his previous raises been from EP compared to the hands he has shown.
