Default Lay down 99 here?

Sorry, don't have the hand history, but I know all the details.

PartyPoker $100+9 Sit n Go. No one out yet.
Blinds 15/30.

Hero is SB with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villain in MP goes all-in for 330.
Everyone folds.
You...?

Considering the range of hands that a shortstack would move in with there and the general quality of play that got him to be a shortstack (called off half his chips with a gut shot), I thought I would be ahead there way more than 50% of the time. If he had a big pocket pair, he'd probably slowplay it, but it seemed very reasonable that he'd have something like Ax or a small pocket pair. Anyways, I just want to hear all of your thoughts. Should I be risking a third of my chips so early w/ 9,9?

Tough one. I'd say it's about 50/50. Since the player may be tilting and all that, maybe yes, it's worth a call. What should worry you most is if the BB comes along. That'll make it extra chippy.

I'm not sure what I'd do.

I know that's no help, but it's all I have.

Fold.
He has 11x BB, not even close to being desperate.
FWIW if he's pushing all pairs and any ace its correct to call with 66+ and AT+.
