Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$15/$30 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$1485.00:///////;SB$1470.00:///////;BB (Hero)$1500.00:///////;UTG1$1500.00:///////;UTG2$1500.00:///////;MP1$1500.00:///////;MP2$1500.00:///////;MP3$1545.00:///////;CO$1500.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9:c, 8:d.
7 folds, SB calls $15.00, Hero checks.

Flop: ($60) T:c, 3:d, 9:s (2 players)
SB bets $60.00, Hero calls $60.00.

Turn: ($180) T:d (2 players)
SB bets $90.00, Hero calls $90.00.

River: ($360) 7:c (2 players)
SB bets $180.00, Hero calls $180.00.

Final Pot: $720.

Right after I called the river I thought: Wow! I played that hand horribly...
Should I just fold the flop or latest the turn?
I thought that folding my pair was a bit too weak since a lot of people are bluffbetting full pot when the blinds are still small. Do some of you play r/f occasionally here?

I'm folding flop, his pot-sized bet is pretty strong. He might very well have overpair too, people love to limp them from SB.

This. Unless you have reads on your opponent that he is taking the limp small blind bet flop line with air, I don't think you should call flop here.

A hand like A9 I would call though.
