PUKE, this hand made me uncomfortable. I don't like pushing either, but I didn't, and don't, know how else to play it. I felt my hand was too good to just lay down.

I'm sorry but I don't see a pair of nines (overpair or no) as too good to lay down in level 2 of a SNG. It's easy to fall in love with overpairs but it's still just a pair. I don't go all in with a pair when 3 other people are telling me they have something.
I also think raising preflop might have eliminated some of your problems later on. If I'm going to limp with a pp early on, then it's for set value only - I'm not losing a lot of chips if I don't hit my set.

how likely is it that someone is slowplaying on an uber-draw board? what is hero behind to on the flop? i'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not that likely.
