Help the ladies in distress!

Table had been pretty passive, but had just gone from full to short handed. Neither of my opponents in this hand had done anything out of the ordinary, seemed pretty typical.

What is your turn play here? If I believed I was in the lead on the flop, do I still believe it on the turn or am I drawing to 2 outs?

I'm not sure that I am ahead on this flop with that action.

SB's play is strange he doesnt three bet but caps when it comes round to him again.

Looks like we have everyone playing Overpairs or AK. I dont see the nines being out there but I have been 3 bet with 99 in 3/6 so anything is possible.

I dont see AA here cos they would have gone for the cap on the flop. On the turn it look like SB got his TPTK and BB has hit trip kings.

The problem you have on the turn is if you continue its possibly going to be capped on this street and maybe 2 more bets on the river.

Whilst in heat of battle I probably dont do this but analysing the hand you may be able to fold here. Passive table and people going nuts how many of thier possible holdings do yo beat.

[Lottery Larry]

dump them. the SB bets into the field after that action, when the King comes? Someone has you beaten, unless 5-handed tables are REALLY LAG

Fold.

Thanks for the comments. I've been running a bit bad and wanted to make sure that I wasn't being weak here. I did fold the turn when faced with 2 bets. I figured if I was really ahead on the flop, at the very least someone must have AK and I'm not anymore. Turns out I was wrong....but I still thought it was a good fold and looks like I'm not alone. Thanks!
