10/20 SH TPTK vs turn action

SB is 34/11 and has been playing well.
BB is 17/11 and has played so few hands as to be unremarkable.
I am 41/13 and have been running very well for the session.

I felt ok with the fold on the river, but I'm not thrilled with the turn action.

Opponents action on the turn looks like J9/JQ catching two pair, KT hitting the straight, or a spade draw.

Should I have raised the turn? Fold to a reraise or call along?

Do people feel the river fold is standard or should I call it down?

I don't think BB is betting here unless he could beat one pair.

I'd raise the turn, bet a safe river assuming no more aggression by your opponents. With the river that came I'd be looking for a free showdown. The river fold is fine given the way the turn was played.

Raise the Turn! Then you'll know whether he has the hands you fear or is drawing. Laying to the R is the right move here but you make hm pay to draw on te T with a raise.

I agree you can't win with 1 pair on the river 3-ways....raising the turn prob just makes you lose a bet bc of the draws out there
