How to get them to contribute more then they planned?I reasoned that the willingness to see turn and call the raise opened up for 2/3 pot bet?

Final Pot: $99

sometimes you just wont be extracting any more out of them.. it's better to bet and take it down, than to check and let them catch up.

especially when there are draws that can beat your hand.

Sometimes the only way to keep players in a hand is to give them the correct (or infinite) odds to call. This, of course, is bad for hero 100% of the time with a made hand that is vulnerable.

The fact that they both called your flop check raise is reason enough to bet a little more on the turn ($45-$50). As played, if villain 1 calls, villain 2 has very nice odds to call with a draw.

You were not getting any more out of these guys in this case, but I think in the future you should bet closer to pot on a safe turn.
