Default $16 Stars: 99 first hand, how should i play this with all lowers

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button (t1500)
SB (t1500)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)
CO (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 9, 9.
UTG calls t20, Hero calls t20, MP1 calls t20, MP2 calls t20, 2 folds</font>, Button calls t20, SB completes, BB raises to t80</font>, UTG calls t60, Hero calls t60, MP1 calls t60, MP2 calls t60, Button calls t60, SB calls t60.

Flop: (t560) 5, 3, 4 (7 players)</font>
SB checks, BB bets t140</font>, UTG calls t140, Hero ???

I'd just be folding here, calling is a bad option b/c so many bad cards can fall on the turn and raising is too aggro/risky, especially in a pot that was raised pre (out of the BB too). Way too many players in the hand as well to think 99 is the best.

Uh tough, but folding seems good with still players to act after you.

Early, you don't know anything about the strength of your hand, If you are behind you have between 2 and worst case 0 outs. Fold.

With six players to see a flop im only happy to continue here with a set, which i guess is the main goal pf anyway in a family pot like this. easy fold.

Ya, this early my motto is set or forget with that many players seeing the flop.
