Re: PP vs paired board
When Villain raises the flop, you can be almost certain he doesn't have a 9, I think most players would wait until the turn to raise here. I have noticed people love to raise with bottom pair on a paired board, so it looks like Villain has a 2. You said Villain was relatively tricky, so he could be raising with a flush draw. A PP is also possible.
With that said, I think Villain has a PP or flush draw after he calls the turn bet. So, I check/call the river because 1)Villain will have a flush every once in a while. You want to go to SD, and you don't want to pay 2 bets to do so.
2)Checking the river looks like you were trying to push Villain off his hand on the turn and the river, so you may induce a bluff from a weaker hand.
Looking at the results, I don't hate Villain's flop play. I definitely raise the, and call the 3-bet, but I would have to fold to the turn bet.
