Do I really want to, at best, flip for most of my stack ? I don't think I can just call a third of my stack here.

Definitely don't call.

Fold/Shove depends on:

1. Villain's stats?

2. There are still 2 to act after you, including the chipleader. What are their stats?

But generally click the big fold button here.

Thats assuming he calls though, right?

IMO though, I think his 4x raise in EP looks strong enough to warrant a fold in this spot.
He's putting almost half his stack in so I don't think you have enough fold equity to shove.

The half-stack raise in a spot like this is virtually always a monster hand. I think you can fold here. If you do decide to play the hand I think you have two options, either shove now and hope he has enough AK/AQ and smaller PP hands in his range that you have some nice equity or pull a stop'n'go. Meaning...flat call and shove any flop, you are essentially putting them all-in preflop, you just wait a smidge to maximize fold equity.

Honestly, in this spot I'd prefer a stop'n'go to a PF-shove if I decide to go with the 99. Fold is likely the best option though.

I have to agree with this^^^

Thanks for the responses. I did fold, ended up finishing 2nd, or I might have won it, they are all running together now.
