No need to raise. I limp preflop. Then maybe lead flop and fold to a raise. But as played, flop bet doesn't need to be that big. At a 6.50, if they're calling a 150-200 bet, they're calling a 300 bet. So betting about half or 2/3 keeps the pot smaller and does the same thing as a 300 bet.

Any reads on the button?

I would just limp this pf.
Since you raised, make a smaller bet on the flop, between 150-200. Fold to the raise.

I tend to fold this preflop, if CO comes over the top preflop its ugly and I dont think you will steal too many blinds with 3 larger stacks behind you.

i limp pre-flop.

Just limp preflop.

As played, c-bet a little less (200 is enough) and release the hand after that

Definetley just limp and play for set value at t50. Even though you may have the best hand on the flop, if you limped and the pot was unraised you can check/fold out of a small pot and pick a better spot.

I guess I'm in the minority. 6 handed. 99 is pretty strong. I'm raising.

C-BET 250 fold to raise.

This seems more like a limp or fold preflop. If I am raising this PF, then perhaps a shove would be better.
