i play it the same honestly.
If you want to play this hand for implied odds at such a price, then go ahead. I'm not doing it for two reasons. It's too expensive, and if the original raiser just calls preflop instead of going over the top to get you out, then he feels too weak to pay off a set of nines deep.
