Just my opinion, but I think in the long run you're going to end up losing a lot more money calling a huge bet with a pair of 9's than you're ever going to make. Good fold

This is an instant fold.

For that matter, I would have folded to the reraise and call preflop. They may have both had you beaten already.

You're most likely behind, but you still have implied odds to call and catch a set.

Your brother is too optimistic. I doubt UTG is raising with AKs, he has KK or QQ; second UTG limper is likely 2 big overcards. You're a big dog here. I'd fold.

Tell your brother to put down the Phil Hellmuth books and read something more productive.

The limp-reraise UTG smells exactly like a big pair to me. I'd consider folding preflop, and I'd fold to the bet after. If he's a lag or a maniac (like your brother) you can put him all-in.

If you think your hand is good here, betting out is much better than going for a C/R. If I thought there was a reasonable chance my hands was good and my opponent was not a overly aggressive, I would bet out around $25 and fold to a raise.

I am inclined to think your hand is no good here though, unless you have past experience with this opponent suggesting he might play a lower pair or AK this way.
