Not aggressive enough?

I'm noticiing from a lot of hands that when I have near the nuts (I'm sure I've won the hand) I'm not aggressive enough and could probably get bigger pots. I'm afraid to scare people out. How could I have played this hand better?

The play isn't bad. You could try an all-in on the river you will find people at that level believe you are bluffing quite often, hell i see people going all-in at 200 buy in and still getting called on occasions by others with only moderate hands. Of course they will very occasionally bluff with the same strategy.

Personally i prefer to make a callable bet of about 1/2 to 3/4 the pot because then I can bluff with the same size bet.

probably max value imo

Theres no value to be had betting turn? Do we not put any of the callers on a 9 (or not often enough), or do we feel if someone had the 9 they'd bet it themselves?
