Raising will also likely shut everyone out behind you

And that's a bad thing?

With this hand I want to play a large multiway pot. Raising 3rd will likely make you play at large pot HU which is exactly what you do not want to do with a drawing hand.

This hand plays well heads up or multiway. I think this case is a clear raise, and if for some reason it still ends up multiway, that's fine too. Also, if you only raise here with a big pair, your play is too predictable.

Another thing to observe is that you are approximately even money (heads up) against hand the 9 has except for a big pair in the hole or rolled up trips.

Finally, folding this hand (on third) would be horrible poker.
