K9s on the button. Am I getting better or worse?

Went off to Turning Stone for some golf and poker for a few days. After negotiating with the shift manager for a while he called a 20/40 game. It took a while as a few of the folks on the interest list were in the 1 10/20 game going and they were afraid that when they left the game would break. Apparently their procedures call for protecting existing games, even if they risk a greater number of other folks that would play in a game if it went would leave if the bigger game didn't go. Strange rules, but anyway we finally got the game going.

The game is great; mostly loose passive and almost always call the flop, with lots of cold calling preflop and there are a couple of overaggressive folks. One of my buddies is also in the game.

Anyway one overag limps, a loosie limps, the other overag raises, there's a cold caller. I'm on ther button and look down and see K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I look left and both of those loosie calling stations in the blinds have their chips at the ready so, I call and the blinds call. 7 to the flop.

Flop is Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

The overag limper leads out, which could mean anything, loosie calls, the other overag just calls, which means he doesn't have a Q or an overpair, cold caller folds, I raise, both blinds call 2 bets cold. The bettor and callers call.

Turn is K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I'm not sure whether I love this card or hate it. Everybody checks to me, I figuratively grit my teeth and bet.

One of the blinds call, the other folds, flop bettor shrugs and calls, PF raiser calls.

River is a blank.

SB checks, flop bettor checks, PF raiser now wakes up and bets, I call, blind and flop bettor fold.
