Default Re: 99 with straight draw... maniacs at the table

with 7 people seeing the flop, and 'maniacs' at the table, seems like you definitely have the odds to be hoping for a set or in this case a straight, and you'll have people to pay you off. Why would you fear splitting the pot though? You have 2 of the nines....chance of someone else having one is slim. I think you're looking too much at the results. You have an open-ended straight draw on the flop. If I remember correctly, the odds of you hitting by the river are 1.9 to 1. With people ready to call all the way at your table, I think you need to see the river.
