Interesting $50+5 hand

[Scuba Chuck]

The reason I am posting is due to the circumstances. First is the fact that villain is acting from LP. Furthermore, villain's stack came from two earlier very fishy plays.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t1590)
UTG+1 (t1060)
MP1 (t1170)
MP2 (t1885)
CO :#A500AF(Villain)/ (t2230)
Button (t730)
SB (t415)
Hero (t920)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls t50, UTG+1 calls t50, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO :#A500AF(Villain)/ calls t50, Button calls t50, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t300) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villain bets t1200</font>, Button folds, SB folds, Hero ......

Based on what I know of villain, I put him on a pocket pair, like 66 or something. What are your thoughts on calling this? Furthermore, what about players yet to act behind?

I used to make calls like these all the time when I single-tabled before. After busting out prematurely a ton of times, even when I had the favorite on the flop, I learned to pray and hope villain was still there when I was ITM so I could snap him off then. Trust me, they won't change their play then and the rewards will be bigger. Let others try to keep him in line for now and watch the table go SH quick (as is usually the case with a LAG).
