Stakes? Any reads on thekoenna?

I am probably not making this play because you could be very behind already, or you are racing - I cant see him folding after sticking such a big raise in there - but that is where stakes/reads factor into my decision. Is he frequently making big raises like that?

99 is borderline for pocket pairs here...but TT+ is AI

88.. bah, sometimes I do (30%), sometimes I don't (70%)... really depend on reads.

He was not tight, but I was also questioning my folding equity at these stakes ($24-turbo).

I guess this is just below border-line. He folded FWIW, but trying not to be results oriented.
