In general I don't like soft betting this hand with 99++. If you are betting different amounts for different hands on this flop you are leaking information.

The small bet gives good implied odds to str8 and flush draws. If you had a jack you really wouldn't want to see the turn.

I think hero is 60:40 against villain's range of hands and there aren't the chips to figure out where you are at on this board.

I think you're better off in the long run just betting out and taking your opponents FE away rather than structure your betting to get away from the hand on an undistinguished stack in the middle of the tournament.
