I sometimes raise with 99 from early position. Table is rather timid, and I expect a short-handed pot where my pair will have a decent chance.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif.

River: (8.25 BB) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, Villain checks.
Final Pot: 8.25 BB
I put Villain on a big pair or AK. I have no problems calling on the turn after BB folds but I'm not sure if I should have called on the flop.
I have second pair + a backdoor flush that might or might not stand up. Also my pair could be the best hand at the moment if Villain has AK. Hard to judge my chances accurately, but I called even if the pot odds might not justify it. Was this too loose?
Also, should I have bet the river? Villain might call with a big pair (he has called with less before), but he might also have a better flush + betting gives him a chance to bluff-raise (I would have called).
