2/4 B&M, 10 players, loose & passive

Villain doesn't bluff, is typical passive player but isn't afraid to put lottsa bets in when he thinks he's ahead.

Preflop (10 players): Hero is UTG with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero raises, UTG+1 coldcalls, Villain coldcalls, Button coldcalls, BB calls

Flop (5 players, 10 SB): K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
check to Hero who bets, fold, Villain 2bets, folded to Hero who 3bets, Villain 4bets, Hero puts money in the pot to 5bet but is then told by dealer that 4bet cap applies since round didn't begin heads-up

Turn (2 players, 9 BB): 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero bets, Villain calls

River (2 players, 11 BB): 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero bets, Villain raises, Hero wimps out and calls.

I failed poker 101 here. My thinking at the time is with aggressive flop play this villain had a set of 9's or a set of 8's, therefore it was 50/50 his quads came in and thus no point in 3betting/calling. Point out the error in my thought process.
