Default Another weak play

Could you please give me your thoughts on this hand? Thanks

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed)

MP3 (t1230)
CO (t1130)
Button (t535)
Hero (t1230)
BB (t1400)
UTG (t1080)
UTG+1 (t2475)
MP1 (t1510)
MP2 (t2910)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t30, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls t30, Button folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t120) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t90</font>, BB folds, UTG calls t90, CO calls t90.

Turn: (t390) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t390</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG raises to t960</font>, CO folds, Hero calls t570.

River: (t2310) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>

Final Pot: t2310

Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero shows 9c Js (two pair, jacks and nines).
UTG shows Td Ac (straight, jack high).
Outcome: UTG wins t2310. </font>

I think my bet of $90 is good. Once I get called, however, its obvious that my opponents are on a straight draw with overcards. Therefore, I should check rather than bet $390. Once I'm raised, however, I think that this is a very easy fold. Calling is suicide!


Suerte,
Jonathan
