Default Re: Cold-Call 99 in MP3- weak post flop?

[ QUOTE ]
Isn't 3-betting an UTG raiser with no read marginal?

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 42.4039 % 42.20% 00.20% { 99 }
Hand 2: 57.5961 % 57.39% 00.20% { TT+, ATs+, KJs+, AQo+, KQo }

How do you extend UTG's raise to make us the favorite?

It has more to do with your position and playing "power poker"

3 betting in position buys us the button. It also folds out the blinds to increase our equity.

Being in position allows you to make the most and lose the least headsup since he has to act before you.

Also it disguises the strength of your hand and increases his reverse implied odds.
