Have you been abusing him? Does he like the repop?

If he has been tight, and hasn't gotten out of line, I think his line here is pretty strong. QQ+, AK. And it's an easy fold. If he has been squeezing often and making some loose plays, I think a call here is fine.

I agree with TPTK, if he's a loose cannon and he's squeezing then you have to shove with 99. Just calling half your stack with 99 OOP against a super agro is not a good play at all and you're going to fold almost any flop. It's a shove or fold here based on the players image and your read.

This looks quite scary for me (specially as CO is still in the hand).
If you have no better read I would giving him credit for a real hand (if you have no read on him telling you something different).
He might do that with 88+,AQ+ but not much worse hands I think.
So I think this is a fold.

This is really read dependent, obviously the more likely someone will squeeze the more likely you shove and vice versa. Given co limped and you raised, it's less likely you're ahead in this spot. If I think it's a close decision but I'm running over the table, I'll fold. Also the lower the buy in the wider range you can put on villain. I see donks reraise with 55 not because they think they're making a play but because to them a pair is a big hand.

What stakes?
It's a fold regardless I think w/o really good reads..
And the smallish RR isn't so fishy when we consider the CO's stack, one of the 2 at the table that can cripple him, he's trying to isolate you, he's got a premium hand most of the time here.

That's pretty much my thoughts on the subject. It's going to end up being player dependent and what buy in it is, since in some of the lower tournaments players are very straight forward with their 3 bets.

weird raise by that guy.... he's bet over half your remaining stack after your 7k raise... IMO it looks like he's trying to commit you to the pot right now.

i think i might run away and flash the 99 here... don't really wanna bust out when you're healthy and your M is still over 15 (if no antes yet). you're relatively equal to the effective stack size and have enough to cripple the 2 big stacks.

i'd say unless this guy has made this move before it's an easy instafold. if he had AK i think he might just shove too to make an incallable bet.
