your mistake was not betting the turn, one of them checking behind could easily be trying to get you to bet out on the river when they hit trip 9's on you...a bet on the turn would of given you a sense of where you are in the hand. However the way you played it, I would check it there and hope you are best...

Well I figured one of them, likely had a nine, so betting if that is the case does not look smart to me.
I rather keep the pot small if I am likely behind, rather than bet for information.
However both of them checking behind on the turn reduces the chance they have a nine a lot.

I like turn check and I check river, they probably will fold 66-88s, almost certainly fold 5x or worse, so they isn't much value to be had vs risk you have to fold to a river bluff.

If you want to get a bunch of money in here, re raise pre.

I see no point betting turn here. Folks need to remember than an overpair is just a special pair. Check river, call a weak bet.

With the raiser and the caller I would consider making it 200-220 to go preflop.

As played, I think turn check is good against two opps and I would check/call the river as I can't see that many worse hands that would call our bet. TT and probably 66-88 come to mind but they're pretty unlikely. Also, one of them could have slowplayed 9x on the turn.
