Against a 42/3 I would prefer to just call preflop. A player like this might sometimes mix it up and mini-raise rather than limp, so I dont think, this is always going to be exactly top 3% of hands. But even so this guy has been extremely passive preflop, and this time he did raise, so I would tend to give this a bit more respect, than if say a 62/36 miniraised UTG.

Trying to see a cheap flop with 99 in position seems like the best play here. If someone behind comes along, its not ideal, but its not the end of the world either. We can profitably setmine, and unless its BTN, we will have position, so we can also realise at least some of the showdown value of our pair.

Instead however BTN puts in a cold 4-bet, and now I would just fold. Very few players in the micros ever make a cold 4-bet as a bluff, 99 is crushed by his value range, you have terrible reverse implied odds on low flops like T42 or 733, and you are not deep enough to setmine. You even have some reverse implied odds on flops like A92 or KQ9, because a fairly significant part of his stack off range will be better sets.
