Since the only hands I can beat are a pair of nines and pocket pairs, I think I should check on this river.

And then the fold. I don't think my opponent is a tricky player. So after this check-raise, I'm pretty sure he has at least trips. Although the pot is big (I'm getting 9¼:1), I think I can safely fold her.
