i think laying this down will encourage him and possibly allow for a better spot to arise for you to get his chips. its not a bad call simply because u read him as tilting. However, it is still a very large amount of your stack to be risking. u have a lot of chips and 99 could be a coin as it was here or killed just as easily. I think i would have layed this down and waited for a better spot to pick him off, loosing this will bring your stack to a much different level, its just not a risk you need to take here.

Probably racing here a majority of the time, or dominated. OK, he could have 88<... I'd let it go and wait for better spots. If he's maniac pushing like that, it's likely he'll eventually run into a monster hand or double up and start playing straight.P.s. don't include results.
