Re: Hypothetical Hand: 99 top set
What do tough players limp UTG?
I would limp with AA-KK/AK-AQs/99-77 at a truly tough table (and intend to reraise). I would limp a few others with the intention of calling a raise.
He pretty much has a big overpair, a set or a big flush draw when he makes this play on the flop. The main concern for me is the 3rd player and how to keep him in the pot. If he was good and would only have a draw in this spot, I would wait and raise the turn. Since he can have a ton of different hands, I would jam it now in attempt to keep him around. There will also be a good chance that we will get check/raised on 4th street, and that might keep him around even longer.

Oh yeah I would just call preflop too. We do have an edge over AA-KK/AJs+/99-66/KQs, but that is just one possible range here. It is kinda a meh spot to be in. It isn't like he is some mass online multitabler or something.
