Either raise or fold depending on the players at the table. I tend to raise and go from there.

I ask this question because tonight i had it 3 times in a span of about 80 hands, first time i limped, 2nd and 3rd time i raised. The tables where i was playing (it was on party) seemed kind of passive so i figured raising was a better option. but playing this hand after a tricky flop was hard.

Folding nines preflop first in is pretty damn bad, it has a pretty good expectation.

According to the PokerRoom.com EV Stats (http://www.pokerroom.com/games/evstats/totalStats.php?order=value), nines have a better EV than AQo.

Ok, as I have said in the past. I'm a tight bastard. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif I did say I tend to raise though. /images/graemlins/wink.gif But at the right table I will fold them without a second thought. You won't ever see me limp with them from early position though. It's one or the other.
