Default 25NL 99 against a re-raise

I had just sat down and I don't have PT so no reads. Is this a weak fold? How do you interpret a limp UTG followed by a re-raise against an unknown?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 2 folds, Button calls, SB folds, SB folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $1.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $4.5</font>, Button folds, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $3 returned to UTG.

Raising to 6BB is too much with one limper. I generally use 4BB + 1 per limper. That said, if I have reads and my opponent is aggressive, I happily call a 3bet, even against a limp-reraise, in position provided the stacksizes are appropriate just because the people that make this kind of play will get stacked 99 times out of 100 if you catch a set. Here, you have not given the stacksizes, so it's hard to judge. Regardless, limp-reraise from an unknown at 25NL (which is what I play) almost always means KK or AA. Fold unless the stacks are deep enough to give you set-value.

If the raise is to $4.5, you need to have something like $45 on the table each to make it +EV. This is because 9 times out of 10 you will lose $4.5, and the last time you will make $45 if you stack him. What this also means is that if you catch, you need to play your hand fast.

Stack sizes are pretty vital to be able to answer this properly but fold if your not getting set odds and call if you are

your 99 is going to be behind here a lot. most likely AA\KK\QQ

there were 2 limpers skates, and you only have to call 3 (the 1.5 isn't yours anymore)
you have to include stack sizes DLkeeper1

Yes, you're right strongguy, I misread the limping, and you're correct that you only need to call $3. So $30 each is pretty safe to assume set odds if you're confident you can stack him if you catch.
