...your not beating that many hands...

this is funny. you are beating ALL but 5 possible hands.
169 possible hands. 5 hands>99>163 hands. even narrowing his range down to top 10% (rather than 100%), you are ahead of more hands than you are behind.

I think this is a VERY clear push. Reasons -

* FT button - people tighten up.
* 5 handed and you have 99 = big hand
* your are SS and need chips to make a run once you get to the FT.
* You are mostly likely up against two big cards, and could very well be against 88 - 22.

Take the coin flip and hope you get lucky!

Of course, now that I see he had AA - WTF were you thinking?? FOLD! :-)

I can't see any other line here. It sucks that AA actually holds up sometimes . . .

I like the stop'n'go here or just calling and reevaluate after the flop, but at 5 handed, 99 is pretty strong, I'm guessing I push and pray. Folding is not an option. My reads on Villian here would also play a huge factor on what I do. If he's a LAG I push for sure, TAG, maybe I just call.

Calling cannot be correct given an M of 10500/(1800) * (5/10) or <3 due to playing 5 handed. This is an insta-push. Calling to re-evaluate cannot be a good line unless half the field has less chips and 9th is a big $$ jump.
