Limit hand II

Okay, This one is pretty different to the other hand, this guy in blinds kept just flat calling which had me bit miffed, probably made an error in this hand but take a look and give me some aid if necessary.

I would consider capping on the turn and then just check-call on the river. The pot is 3 way on the turn and you are definitely beating at least one of these jokers so make them pay full. You invest the same amount, but get an extra BB from VBwoody and the same amount from Ubie.

Although it feels a bit like 55 from Ubie so you may have been drawing practically dead for the whole hand.

You've represented a 9 and he's raised the whole way. I would bet the turn and call his raise. Probably check/call the river.

Otherwise pray for a queen and let the fireworks go off.

What hands does villain represent that you beat?
Over pair is not likely seeing there was no PF action.
Open ended? Not likely, due to his relative position, he should realize that his bet will not thin the field , so it is obvious he is trying to float the pot (unless real nit)
So we are down to a set, a str8 or 2 pairs (that filled up on the turn). All pretty likely seeing his position.

Seeing it from here, I'd probably be on check/call mode from the turn.

As for SB, he probably is sitting on a Openended.
