flatting small PP's

1st question:

When do you guys flat pre with small pp's?

I know this answer sucks, but...it really depends on a ton of different things.
position
position
position
What was the action prior to me?
Is it going to be profitable for me if I hit my set (odds)
How many players in the hand?
Do I think I can out play my opponent if HU?
Reads on opponents, and a whole slue of other things.

2nd question:

Also let's say you pick up 99 UTG are you raising this to 4 bb's?

I'd be raising to about 3bb, unless 3bb was getting a few callers and 4bb was taking the blinds on this table then I'd go to 4.

Edit: IMO, 99 isn't a small pp. 22-77 are small pps. but it's semantics
