once that bet of 99 goes in, he is what we call "pot committed"... we call it this BECAUSE it affects his pot odds for the rest of the hand

Ehhm so you saying if his stack was 10000000 chips, he would still be pot committed after a bet of 99 chips?

Depends on what the raise is to him, if it's his million chips to the other guys 100 and you bet 99 with absolutely nothing, you are pot commiting yourself unless you can 100% put him on a hand that has you drawing dead. Sure you could fold to the 1 chip raise and have loads of chips to play with, but it would be wrong for the pot odds. So yes, even in your completely out of context example you are pot commited if you want to play the hand right.
