Default $114: 99 ITM facing raise and reraise

(Sorry I don't have the HH)
We've been ITM for a little while and everyone has played pretty passively so far. The button is not that good in general but the SB is pretty decent. What can I do?

Pokerstars $105+$9 NL Tourny, Level 5 (Blinds 75/150)
Hero is in BB with 99.

Button(2500)
SB(5000)
BB(6000)

Preflop: Button raises to 450, SB goes all-in for 5000, Hero?

You can call or you can fold .... binary play obv.

This question seems either way under my head or way over because this looks like a very obv fold to me. Im prolly folding JJ here as well. I mean is he rrai w/ AJ? TT? Maybe TT, prolly not AJs, so your behind the SB's range by a long shot with your 99 not even including what the button has.

so... fold???

I agree that this is a pretty easy fold given the "tightish" play that's been going on. But I'm sure as hell not folding JJ. I'm guessing the SB is pushing something like 88+,AJ.

I guess folding is best. Let them tangle. TT would be a tough laydown for me.

This looks like the kind of [censored] that I would do. Pretty clear fold imo. Deep stack ITM play comes up fairly often (any table w/o poker in pb [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) and I don't know where to draw the line. JJ? TT? AKo? AKs?

Probably fold AKo and call with AKs. TT is prob the tough one.

heh are you gyus really think that this man push allin with jj-aa ? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
i think no ,he reraise or only call here , not push .
One hand that you scare it's 1010 . I think it's a will be a good call . Because many hands you beat from his range 22-88 for example. And else ,i think that itm must play more agressively ,because you never win more first place if you play tight . i assure that more first place+ more 3rd place it will be more money than more 2nd place + less 1st place!

Fold. You have no fold equity, and you might have to beat both of them. Do you think this is likely? More EV folding than calling. You get a chance to move up into 2nd with no risk plus you still have plenty chips to fight for first.
