Default $55r: how to extract value from my trips

Both villains are pretty passive. Comments on all streets welcome.

Should I lead flop/turn?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t60 (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button (t2278)
Hero (t2020)
BB (t1855)
UTG (t1815)
UTG+1 (t2567)
UTG+2 (t1410)
MP1 (t2780)
MP2 (t2120)
MP3 (t1990)
CO (t1165)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t60, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Button calls t60, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t240) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Button checks.

Turn: (t240) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>


My reasoning on the turn when the ace hit:
1. If one of my opponents has an ace he will likely bet it and i can go for a c/r to build the pot. If I bet out he will probably only call. The problem here is that passive opponents who have a weak or medium strong ace will often only make a small turn bet. When I raise I demonstrate so much strength that my opponent either folds right away or to my river bet (at least to a sizeable one).
2. If nobody has an ace they will likely fold to my bet, but maybe attempt a little bluff after I check.

My default is to lead flop and c-r the turn.

i'd check the flop as well, then bet the turn because i think no one of your opponents will fold an ace for a 1/2 or 2/3 pot bet.

anyway most likely i'd have folded preflop.

I'd fold PF.

I'd also bet flop, I'd make it t140. Thing is check/raising is basically screaming, "I HAVE A 6!" If these guys have a King they are gonna call your flop bet. If they don't, well they probably won't give you much action on a turn card either. Just bet it and try and build a pot.
