On the turn, I was scared of the straight (in hindsight, how smart was I, right?) and I didn't want to fold the 9xs. I saw more value in setting up a check call here. I made a spreadsheet comparing the raises, because obviously I have to raise a full house if there are a lot of triples and straights in the opponent's range.
Worse cards are K9s,Q9s,J9s,T9s,54s,K9o,Q9o,J9o,T9o,98o,54o,[30]98s-94s,97o-94o[/30] - 64 combinations
(But I have devalued the weaker 9s to 30%)
The better cards that beat me
A9 - 6 combinations
That if I raised back to 2500 all 9s would call.
But allin would be called by at least Q kicker 9s.
Worse cards:
K9s,Q9s,54s,K9o,Q9o,54o - 32 combinations
Better cards:
A9 - 6 combinations

It can be seen that, despite the reduced payout scale, allin is a better game.
