When I consider situations like these, here is how I figure it. If I feel like flat calling, How much of a bet on the flop am I willing to make. I'll then take that much and rounding up to some sensible number and re-raise that amount. In this case, pot size (if I call) would be 465, of which, I would bet out about $275 with a flop that I think my 99's are good (not set of 999). Since I already owe 130, I may, instead of calling, re-raise to $400. If he tries to put me all in, I'm probably done with the hand. If he calls, I have some tough decisions to make after the flop.

I would only do this against a player who can lay hands like JJ and AK down. Against AA or KK, I'm expecting the re-raise and I certainly hope they don't have QQ cuz I'm pushing if the flop comes without A or K.

Edit: Let me add, this is against a Button raise. SB or BB raise I'm probably outta here. The Button is in great re-steal position and calls bother me more then re-raises.
