My shoving range from late pos is a hell of a lot lighter. I just think you can find better spots to chip up than shoving utg or utg +1 with a small to medium pair. Even if the blinds hit you you still have fold equity and can open shove from late position. I think 9 handed its not uncommon to run into a bigger pair.

by the time you get to late position you are likely to have paid both the BB and the SB, so will be down below 5bb (don"t know if antes are involved), so your fold equity is further eroded. Plus if you do double up after going through the blinds once or twice, you won"t be in a much better position than you stand now.
good players will know that your shoving range from LP is lighter and may call you lighter in response, a push from here may get more respect. Plus you may fold out hands in MP like AJ who may not want to call you fearing someone wakes up behind with a bigger hand.
all things being equal i think shoving the 99 has to be correct - if you get called by 2 overs and lose a flip, it happens...if you get looked up by a bigger pair then just hope you suck out - but waiting worrying what may happen behind you will mean your chances of placing highly will reduce imo.
unfortunately i have become an expert in playing a short stack ;)

Your M is 4.
You shove with any pair!
Your in the BB in 2 hands aswel.
You need to double up and you will need to do it more than once aswel.

Easy push. The only time you could consider the fold is if UTG shoves first, and even then you may decide to gamble.
