time for a cooperation play?

Hi all. I'm wondering what the right move in this situation is. Do I call with the intention of checking it down with BB, or is my hand good enough to reraise and isolate? UTG is desperate, so he's pushing with a lot of hands that I'm way ahead of. But is this the right time for some implicit collusion/cooperation (or whatever it's called) or should I go for the chips?

Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t330)
Button (t3585)
Hero (t1735)
BB (t2350)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I call and hope to check it down. If you push BB out here and lose, it'll make it much harder to come in third.

i think if i had either button or BBs stack I would isolate.. but with you on the 3rd stack id call and check it down.

I think 99 is very strong, and I think t300 in dead money here would be very nice to you.

I'm overpushing, but it might be a mistake.

i push

I'll push with hands considerably worse than 99 here.

You push, force BB out, coinflip up against UTG getting 2:1 = good stuff.

I guess the stack's aren't extreme enough. If Hero had 1k, this'd be a call right?

Remember that if the BB calls and beats your 99, he's probably going to take the whole pot and you'll come third anyway.
