What to do with pocket 99 against 2 short limpers?

I´m usually raising (what´s the correct size?) at this kind of spots preflop and if they call, i´ll bet allmost any flop without J+ ??

CO: $5.51 (110.2 bb)
BTN: $5.02 (100.4 bb)
Hero (SB): $5.36 (107.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9 9
UTG calls $0.05, MP calls $0.05, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.35, BB folds, UTG calls $0.30, MP calls $0.30

Flop: ($1.10) 7 T T (3 players)
Hero bets $0.77, UTG calls $0.24 and is all-in, MP folds

Turn: ($1.58) 3 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($1.58) A (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

UTG showed K K and won $1.48 ($0.89 net)
MP mucked and lost (-$0.35 net)

Hello,

We could make it smaller preflop as they have small stacks - like $0.2-$0.25.

On the flop I'd bet closer to $0.6.

Why smaller size preflop? Am I thinking this wrong, but i wanna good foldequity against 2 limpers.. there´s so many cards coming on the flop which we don't wanna see.

It's better to have some room for postflop play. The stack to pot ratio with a 20 cents bet is much better compared to 35 cents. I think I like to gamble with the 60cent stack guy and get it all in but there is a villain behind that makes it more complicated. And you generally dont want to get it all in preflop against him.
