Dunno about the levels but in most sngs I play you usually will get it heads up in this spot or take the blinds which isn"t bad with a hand like 99

I doubt you play many $5-$20 Sngs..... and that was the subject of the OP.     At least 2 callers most of the time, followed by more spewage on the flop when we c-bet/fold.

I really dont agree with this, ime L1

undisputed:
Why fold to a raise........ thats when u wanna set..pref to someones o/pair.... that is HOW you get paid and will provide all the implies odds you need !!! if you miss, u lose say 5% of your stack whici is pretty meaningless at this early stage....
really depends on the buyin/site too......
i had an allin preflop in a $12 game last night called by 4/9 players on table... I had QQ,  initial raiser had kq, 2 callers pre had a2 suited and j 9 suited....... and no i didnt win :) makes you think tho.....

I would still raise as level 1 its still relativley cheap- if you get reraised you can fold comfortable in the knowledge your beat

trouble is you"re almost always gonna get a call cos it"s cheap, then you have to play the flop oop with a marginal hand.

i would limp and set mine, or fold pre to any raise unless multiple callers to give some implied value

Damn fine question with some very interesting and varied answers. Which is good or we"d all be transparent.
Think I"m limping in here at this stage etc.

In a sit and go I"d fold 99 1st level to a re raise

Totally correct, there is no price to set mine here! Raising 99 L1 is spewy alone but i dont mind it from s1 or s2 as most peeps will give respect and pass. So making it 90 L1 S1/S2
