Where do I fold this TPTK?

Usual party $0.50/$1.00 table. Is this a no-brainer fold when the flop is capped? It sure felt like I was up against a set, but I guess I was a little slow and didn't fully accept it until the turn...

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero raises, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (12 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, MP3 raises, Button 3-bets, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 caps, Hero calls, MP3 calls, Button calls.

Turn: (14 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
UTG+1 bets, Hero calls, MP3 calls, Button raises, UTG+1 3-bets, Hero folds, MP3 calls, Button calls.

River: (24 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.

Final Pot: 24 BB
Main Pot: 24 BB, between UTG+1, MP3 and Button. > Pot won by UTG+1 (24 BB).

Results in white below: 
UTG+1 shows 9c 9s (full house, nines full of kings).
MP3 shows Th 8h (one pair, kings).
Button shows 6d 6s (full house, sixes full of kings).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins 24 BB.

I think you folded at exactly the right time. When it's two bets back to you on the turn, there's no way that TPTK is any good.

Looks good, sir. If it was checked to you on the turn, would you have bet?

I would have folded on the flop when it was 3 cold to me. When a guy comes to life and checkraise 4-bets, that's usually my signal to bow out and watch him showdown his set.

This is a good point. I didn't even notice the check/cap the first time around. It's probably safe to fold here, but enough people like to 'get in on the action' when it's being raised in multiple places that I might still call and see the turn. Dunno. I'll have to think more about it.

I would have folded on the flop when having to call 3 bets cold. Even though you are getting 11-1 to call, you have to think you are up against a set, so the last thing you really want is another King pairing the board, because that will give someone a boat.

Fold on the flop when it comes back to you capped. You have to believe one of these three has a set

Any other advice is from someone who didnt read the history very closely.

Whoops, you're right. I thought it was only two bets back to him, not three. Fold the flop...
