Pair of 9's played like a girl, comments?

I was in relatively late position so I posted instead of waiting. I feel like I should have maybe bet the turn as my hand will be pretty good with that board most of the time.

Thoughts?

Yeah you should have bet the turn. You really don't want to give a free card here as the pot is getting big and your hand is far from unbeatable.

Flop raise is good. You've got a vulnerable pair which is likely good but needs protecting. You face 3 with 2 cold here.

The same is true on the turn, your pair is still vulnerable to weak draws, and people are very likely to fold draws that may be getting the correct odds to call a single turn bet. You really have to bet this turn.
