The hand looks pretty standard to me. Bet the turn HU. Against 2 loose-passives, you probably have to improve to win and your overcard outs are probably tainted, so I like the check OOP.

Bet the turn. Your chance of winning the pot right there is nonnegligible, you have 6 outs that stand a very good chance of being clean, and you have the nut ISD.

It sure doesn't look like you have the best hand.

Against loose/passive players you will rarely get two folds here. Look at the possible hands that called the flop:

1. Pairs - Too bad and you may be raised.

2. Ax - You are behind and they probably aren't folding after calling the flop. But they aren't likely to bet either so a bet by you could be unfortunate.

3. Unpaired cards near the jack - The nine is probably either a direct hit or some sort of straight draw. Not folding now after calling the flop.

You don't have to win every pot.

Nice hand.
