Re: 99 on the Button
Raise PF instead of limping.
Once you limp and are raised by the SB, I actually favor folding (am I too weak?). 99 will be tough to play, you are either way behind a bigger PP or slightly ahead of overcards. Plus the raiser is too shortstacked for you to be getting good implied odds here.
Postflop I admit I'm lost, I don't know how to play an overpair vs a preflop raiser. His lead bet does look weak, but UTG+1 smoothcalling, the paired board, and the possible flush + straight draws makes it even harder to make a decision. Even if I'm ahead now, there are probably a lot of turn + river cards that can beat me. You can raise to "see where you're at," but that is a lot of money to play just to get some info. I'd probably call out of confusion, but I think a fold is in order. I'd definitely fold when he leads the turn.
