I am horrible with 99

Fire at it one more time with just one caller? Fold to a raise? What do we think villains range is at this point?

I'm content to check-fold. If you bet, you definitely fold to a raise with no read (if you want to see a showdown, check-call and hope to induce a bluff from a smaller pocket pair - but I think it's a -EV move).

Villain's hand range probably looks like broadway one pair combos (KJ, JT, QT, KQ), weak aces (A2, A3), and a range of pocket pairs (44-TT). You may run into junk sometimes, but not often enough to warrant seeing a showdown.

Well, I decided to fire one last time. I thought it was highly unlikely he was going to bluff raise me so I was content to fold to a raise. Fortunately he folded and we will never know what he had. In the past I would have probably never gotten to the river as I would have feared the overcards. Here I just decided to be more aggressive and it paid off.
