Default Tough one with 99

We're last 6 at a 11$ 2-tables SNG (4 see the money). It's been one of the toughest, blinds 200/400, ante 25, and the stacks are pretty similar: 6575, 5560, 5545, 5275, 3130, 915.

I'm fifth with 3130.

Play is very tight, very aggressive, all-in or big raises and re-raises pre-flop, and many folds. Almost no flops. we play like that for a long time. I've made more than my own share of all-in's, few times now, with some pretty marginal hands, because I'm getting nada from the dealer. People are waiting to trap me.

So, I'm getting 99, UTG+1. UTG (5560) folds. What's your move?

6th stack is pretty short, so I could wait for him to bust. But I can take here the blinds + ante, which are now T750 - not bad. On the other hand, I don't really want to be called by over cards here, not to talk about a big-pair. I don't feel too short stacked yet... Or am I wrong?

Push? raise? stop-and-go? limp-fold? what?

(Kurn, you were talking about being very aggressive with a marginal hand, and then fold a better one next hand, or orbit, just because you feel it's bad timing. I wonder if this 99 situation fits in that category?)
