Default $ 60: 99 flopping set

The preflop raiser is a donk and are playing far to many hands. Plan for flop- lead out, or hoping that someones bet to check-call or check-raise?
PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2210)
UTG+1 (t1750)
MP1 (t935)
MP2 (t1585)
CO (t2935)
Button (t1270)
Hero (t1405)
BB (t1410)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">MP1 raises to t100</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero calls t75, BB calls t50

Flop: (t300) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)

leading or check-raising both would be fine imo.

i dont like check/call at all. it gives cheap cards on a drawy board and also does nothing to build a pot which you'd like to do on the flop.

With str8 draws and flush draws Im definitely either betting out or check raising. Im only check raising if I know the players after me well enough to know that they will bet if I check. The pot isnt big but its nothing to be sneezed at either so I dont want to risk losing a pot I should definitely win.

by the way, my standard is to CR more often in situations where there was a raise preflop since it's less likely to be checked behind then.

Yes, I was going for a check raise here. Thing is that I didn't had a read of whether villain was an aggressive donk, or just loose/passive. Perhaps leading out is better then... ?

and cause you can count on a c-bet being big enough to check/shove and still make villain feel committed.
