99 UTG, did I mess this up?

Reads: villian is seemed pretty tight. I have been TAG but haven't shown down a hand.

His miniraise threw me off.
Comments?

Thanks,
Mike

Make up your mind on the flop. Either you fold to his raise or you take it to the barn. I vote fold to his raise.

Too often I see players get confused and just.... call. You know better, you know he's going to keep betting, so make up your mind before you reach for your wallet.

I'd raise more preflop to discourage action. (Unless you vary your bet sizes too much according to the strength of your hands and opponent is savvy enough to notice.)

10K or 12K has been my standard raise at this table for this blind level.
