The results of the hand is unimportant what I want to know is was it played correctly, or am I not maximizing the potential profit. I won the hand, but should any aspect of how I played it be changed for a similar situation in the future?
PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Limit Hold'em (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 9  , T  .
7 folds, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks.
An unsuited connector. Nuthin great. A free check and hope for something decent.
Flop: (3 SB) 9  , 8 , 2 (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, Button calls, SB calls.
Top pair, but my kicker sucks wind. Raise too aggressive?
Turn: (4.50 BB) 9  (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, Button raises, SB folds, Hero calls.
I get raised here. Now I'm thinking he has a 9 with a better kicker than me. My alternative thinking is if I reraise and he does not have the 9 I'll never get a bet out of him on the river. Thinking he has a possible 9 with a better kicker than me is this sound or am I seeing monsters under the bed?
River: (8.50 BB) K (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.
I just called. Should have raised?
Final Pot: 10.50 BB
Hero has 9c Th (three of a kind, nines).
Button has Qs Kd (two pair, kings and nines).
Outcome: Hero wins 10.50 BB.

the call is fine, you could've easily been beaten by a better 9 or a set, but i really can't see folding at .5/1

For as much as I understand limit...I think you played this really well. (check it out guys...Starlight is good enough to put limit so I don't look stupid...  )
Starlight...thank you for posting that it is a LIMIT hand. I can't thank you enough I feel...

No problem. I just wish the converter did it when it converted the hand. Oh well, no matter. Does not take much for me to add the word Limit to my post.

Looks good to me. Depending on the raiser, I sometimes 3-bet the turn...but I play a lot of short-handed so that might have made me real aggro in situation likes this. I'm not folding trips heads-up here, like ever.
