You want QQ or above to try and trap someone. 99 just isn't good enough. With 99 you should be happy with the blinds. if some one calls or raises then you have a decent enough hand, but don't loose your folding equity by limping.

What's wrong with trrapping with 99? 99 is a pretty strong hand in late position.

Plus if you limpraise with 99, people will think you have AA and fold. People say there is a problem playing AA or KK for a limpraise because people know what you have. So suprise them and make the play with a medium pair or big ace.
