PP 15/30 KK hand

[philnewall]

What do you think of my turn play here? Obviously the pot is of a decent size, and there are a number of ways my opponent could improve. However, the 9s paired the top card on board, and I felt like if I bet the turn and was raised again I couldn't let it go. I also felt like my opponent would bet pretty much any hand on the turn here, obviously if he has a 9, but if he has some other pair he'll likely bet thinking he is ahead. Also I thought a draw would be too tempted to bet the obvious scarecard for me.

So my thinking was, if I'm ahead by check/calling the same number of bets is going in on the turn as by me betting.

The river felt like I missed some value, but considering the way I played the turn how could I lead?
