Lately I've been playing 1/2, trying to build up my bankroll. But today I decided to sit down and play 5/10. I think I'm good enough (but we'll find that out), and I've played a decent amount of 3/6 online, so I figured what the hell. I've been catching some cards (understatement) and I'm up 23 BB in my first 58 hands /images/graemlins/grin.gif I was really lucky to get a soft seat and some good cards.
But I have a question about a hand. I was against two very loose and very passive players who don't try to trap, and I think that should've encourage me to bet the turn, since there was little fear of a check-raise. Here's the hand:

Results in white below: <font color="white">
SB shows Th 8h (flush, queen high).
CO shows 6h Js (flush, queen high).
Hero shows Jc 9c (flush, queen high).
Outcome: Hero wins 2 BB. SB wins 2 BB. CO wins 2 BB. </font>
Should I at least have bet the river?
