I don't like 5x raising with 99 UTG. I generally don't raise 99 unless I'm in the CO/button. But it's fine to mix things up....

Anyhow, pushing the flop is fine. Scary-ish board, you're way ahead unless he has AA, and Villain is pot-committed.

Ah, I read "SB" as "BB." Still, I don't raise 99 UTG.

Don't min-raise pre-flop, don't overbet the pot on the flop. Otherwise, I may have just called the flop and check/raised the turn, but otherwise it looks fine.

Ya, check the turn. You have position, the nutz, and SB is showing weakness. Hope he makes his str8 on the river.
