Default 99 trips on a monotone flop

Pacific $5/$10 10 handed, I've been playing the table for a while. I'm like 30/15 over 60 hands, so they might see me as a bit laggy.

MP3 is 50/14/.5/43 over around 80 hands
SB is like 60/20/.8/38 at this point but only over around 20 hands, and he hasn't coldcalled yet.
BB is 40/6/1.26/35 over a few hundred hands, but most of those were from $3/$6 if that means anything. He knows I'm a TAG

Hero Dealt black 9's 2 off the button.

PREFLOP:
folded to MP3 who raises, hero 3-bets, SB calls, BB calls

I didn't expect the coldcalls. O well.

FLOP: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 people 12 SB)
checked to Hero who bets, everyone calls

TURN: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 people 8 BB)
BB bets, MP3 fold, hero raises?, SB calls, BB calls

RIVER: 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 people 17 BB)
BB bets

Anyone play it differently? I think BB donks a lot of hands i beat, and I have lots of outs. I might even fold a small heart in the SB.

Call on the river, fold for one more if its raised?

in all honesty im not raising this turn, you have a lot of outs but their are two people too act behind you who are not going to fold a heart, it sucks but im calling this down after the flop, tho i like your flop bet. and yes if i call on the river and its raised i will probably muck it, two many draws came through and its just like BB to wait to the turn to bet a flush

dude you have to raise this river. its obvious villain has a made hand and doesnt want to give you a free card for the flush draw. Dont fold the river ever, call the 3 bet bet or cap if you are feeling lucky. I dont like your pf play. 3 betting 99 is a donkey play. Any hand like QT has 6 outs against you so I dont think its 3 bet worthy. Also, why wouldnt you wait until you know another heart wont come on the turn to bet the flop.

I'm not so sure i'm ahead enough to raise, especially becasue I can go for the overcall.

Q10 has 6 outs but doesn't know it has 6 outs. It will fold a lot of flops it doesn't hit fearing domination. 99 also wins against overcards over half the time.

I bet the flop becasue a) I often have the best hand b) it might fold a small heart c) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] might raise and knock people out d)2-pair might raise and knock people out and d) there are a lot of gutshots that will fold for one bet w/o the heart draw.

Actually, I'm just as apt to put him on an 8 for the turned straight, and still not sure if Hero has a flush or not. I think this is a river call, and hope that SB overcalls with a worse hand.

EDIT: Oh, and 3-betting 99 vs. an openraise from MP3 should be a standard move in your arsenal. It doesn't matter that MP3 has overcards to your pair most of the time--the point is to prevent the players behind you, some of whom might have other overcards, from entering the pot. And it's also nice if MP3 cooperatively check/folds the flop when his overcards miss.

Never, ever ever, coldcall second in from LP with a pocket pair. If you're gonna see the flop, make it 3.
