3 players limp

me and player2 have 200+BB stacks, player2 is a tight player who raises his big hands pre flop.

I get dealt

flop: :Jh:


I bet $2 player3 folds, player 2 raises to $6, i re raise to $20, he re raises to 50$...

now I am thinking that I am beat, what else than a set of nines would he make this play with or less likely a set of jacks? I think to myself that he most likely has the set of nines, but push anyhow reminding myself of all the advice about not folding these type of hands because it will be +EV in the long run.

Pot 208$, opponent shows 99 a set of nines, precisely the hand I feared..

Does anyone make this fold? Or should I supress that inner voice and play it mechanically?
