    Any options other than a shove here?

    Live MTT 40 runners with EUR35 buy in. 18 players remain. Table has just formed in past 10 mins so have no major read on half the table. Blinds are 600/1200 and my stack is approx 16,000 after posting small blind. Hand played as follows:

    UTG - Limps ( roughly same stack as me)
    Seat 2 - fold
    Seat 3 - fold
    Seat 4 - limps (smaller stack than me but not by much)
    Seat 5 - fold
    Cutoff - fold
    Button - limps (big stack)
    Small Blind (Hero) - Picked up pocket 9's. Shoved for remaining 16,000
    Big Blind - (bigger stack than me but not by much)

    I insta shoved when I saw the 99. Logic as follows:

    - 5400 in the pot will increase my stack by 33%
    - I don't want to see a flop especially with 3 limpers
    - No one has shown any real strength so unless someone slowplayed a monster I most likely have the best hand

    Wondering if anyone would have made a different move? Any views appreciated. Will post outcome later..
