I would raise about 3x or 4x BB. I want people with worse hands (like A7 or 66) to call here or re-raise me.
Pushing will only get better hands to call you. IMO

1. "Pushing will only get better hands to call you" is just not true.

2. The most important thing we have in SNGs is fold equity. If you shove, you've got a ton of FE and can force out hands that you're flipping with. If you raise 3bb and then they shove over you, you've just given the FE to someone else. Unless you have a monster (which 99 is not) you always want the FE on your side.
