Default Simple hand gets ugly on the river

Ok, it's been a while since I've posted a hand, and now I can't get the converter to work at all, so I guess I'll do this the old-fashioned way.

I have only have a few hands with the two guys involved, so no reads. Neither one has done anything unusual yet.

Party 5/10, 6 handed.
I am in the SB with Ad 9c.
UTG limps. Folds to me. I complete. BB checks.

Flop: 6c, Js, Jh
checks around.

Turn: Jd
checks around.

River: As
I bet, BB raises, UTG 3-bets

Me: WTF?!

Oh, crap. You're probably chopping at best (possibly 3-ways, if you are chopping), and I don't think the 1.5 BBs you'll salvage by calling down a 3-way chop is worth another 2-3 BB investment.

I think UTG will have a jack he patiently slowplayed the whole way too often.

I probably would have bet the flop, by the way.

I think raising preflop is also a consideration, versus just one limper.

I'm more concerned about the river decision. Although it's true that raising preflop will often eliminate J2/J3 type hands from the picture, I think not raisng is probably only a small mistake.

FWIW. I definitely would have check/called the river.

I really don't think it matters what you do on the river now.

Folding is 0EV. Calling getting 7:2 for a 3way split at best is probably about the same.
