Default ($5.50) 99 in BB facing minraise on the bubble

Both bigstacks are agressive, and raising quite a bit.
SB is very weak/tight. He folds down to 2-3 BB, then doubles up in a 40/60 matchup. Rinse. Repeat.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t4595)
Button (t5880)
SB (t890)
Hero (t2135)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t300</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>

Normally I would push over the minraise no problem, but taking into account SBs play, is a fold smarter?

Even is SB is an aggro all in every hand idiot I don't play this hand all in. Call or fold and don't play this hand any further unless you flop a monster hand (a set).

I don't see how SB being an aggro all-in player would make us more likely to go all-in. Are you confusing the SB with the raiser?

Fwiw, I'd call I think

Is calling really good here? I'd rather push as we do have some FE. Not sure this is the right time for a flip though.
