Please bet the turn. As played, I might be inclined to call a suspiciously small river bet, expecting to see a flush here a lot, but also hands like A9 a fair percentage of time.

I had also noticed CO bluffed occasionaly

Bet turn ? For how much ? I was also thinking of pot control...

Betting the turn here is sort of spewish to me. You're holding a medicore hand here, no need to build a big pot here for no reason. Call on the river is fine, getting 5-1 here.

I would check the turn, too. I don't want to get involed in a big pot @ the first blind level.
call on river is easy!

You're ahead on the turn unless they have Jx (probably clubs) or J9 and at least one of them has a FD and will call your bet with 55+, 9x and other random [censored]. People do weird things at party but I don't think they'd c/c flop and check turn with a set that often. Should we bet if we assumed this?

Betting here is absolutely necessary IF you're planning to go to the river. The pot is too large not to bet. Generally people bet when they hit a TP on the turn. No bet means either they are drawing, or a J is an overcard to their holding. Bet.

One reason (of many) to check the turn in situations like these is that sometimes you'll induce a bluff on the river from a villain who thinks you've shut down after a c-bet. That's less likely in this spot because it's three-way instead of HU. So I think I lean toward betting the turn here.

I like betting the turn; they both look weak and your hand is fine...
