better question is why you were in the hand with 97 to begin with tbh

He could be protecting his BB against a cutoff/button raise. It all depends on the players, and the stacks behind them I suppose.
Also, there was no flop re-raise, OP bet out of position trying to represent an 8 (possibly?), got raised, and called not wanting to seem weak and hoping to steal it on the turn by firing a second bullet.
There's a few ranges of hands you can represent on a 8-9-9 flop especially if 8 and 9 are suited. Q-J same suit with the 8/9 on the flop, Q-10 same suit with the 8/9 on the flop, or any combo of flush/gutshot straight draw, and with the 10 on the turn his hand arguably got better. The problem he is that it's tough to play these hands out of position, and especially on a floped pair board.
That 2-3o story though, is another matter altogether heh.
