Default Call getting good odds with 99 vs. resteal?

With my stack size, i can afford to call a resteal with 99 here, right?

$600 live NL tourney, about 180 entrants, 100 remain. 100/200 +25 blinds. I have a large stack around 9000. 9 handed, starting pot 525.

HJ limps, CO limps, (not unusual at this table) i make it 1200 with 99 on the button. sb folds, bb goes all in for 4700. Both limpers fold, i need to call 3500 or fold. After his reraise, the pot is 6625, so i'm getting almost 2:1.

The bb had previously only shown down good hands but had reraised all in on a few other late position raises in previous rounds. Seemed aggressive though all initial raisers folded so no showdowns on the resteal hands.

If i call and lose i have 4500, about 9M, decent shape.

I put him on 77+ or AQ+, not suited connectors since he had to assume i was going to call with my 2:1 odds and tall stack.

I decided to call but i realized i didn't really want to but the price was just too cheap...

Would you call here with 99?

Would you call getting 1.5:1 odds? (if the bb had gone allin for 7000 chips instead??[presuming he might play KK and AA this way])

Since you are getting great odds, this is probably not a resteal. I would call anyway.
