I'd limp.

This is different from the 88 hand simply because you're in CO-2, not CO-1, but I'd limp instead of raise this hand. The way you played it preflop, I think you have to drop this hand.

First off I think limping is pretty bad. Either raising to 125-150 or just moving allin is preferred. Again moving allin is clearly +EV, however you have 100 more chips AND you are one spot further from the button. Kind of strange to move allin for 15x the BB from 3 off the button, although despite that it's clearly somewhat +ev to just push like a robot.

My usual play here is to raise to 125 and play accordingly. I have no problem with giving up on your flop here.

btw Im very surprised that 2 people recommend open limping with 99 3 off the button. Honestly it seems ridiculous to me, you have a premium hand first to act in a 6 player game and only 15x the BB. I basically NEVER open limp in the 25-50 round, and I think most people would be well served following this rule as well.
