Live 200nl: could I have played for more value
Playing at an action 1/2nlhe Most stacks at the table are 200bb deep, with a couple over 500bb. Good mix of young and middle age.
Hero is mid 20s reg who is known to be pretty TAG. Villain 2 is a younger guy from the bar industry who is very LAG, playing around half his hands. The other villain is pretty weak tight, but probably overvalues top pair/overpairs.
V2 (co) has 600, v1 (hj) 400, hero (bb) covers.
We hold QJds
PRE FLOP
3 limps, v1 limps, v2 raises 15, btn calls, hero calls, v1 calls.
FLOP
JJ9dhc ($66)
H+v1 checks, v2 b $60, BTN folds, hero calls, v1 calls.
TURN
6s ($246)
Checked around
RIVER
5s ($240)
Hero bets $200, v1+v2 folds.
Should I have led out on the turn?
Should I have checked into 2 on the river?
Should I have sized differently?
Thanks guys

Sounds like v2 was making a cbet and had you on trip jacks when you called. I liked the check on the turn to perhaps make out your on a draw like Q10 or 108 suited and induce a river bet. But perhaps a turn bet would have been good in case either player had a straight draw because they are the only hands which may perhaps call a bet
I like sqz peflop. I'm not a fan overcalling here inviting the limpers to come in ,taking this hand potentially 6/7 way. If initial villain is weak and loose, our hand does better isolating him. As played, flop and turn are fine. River I would potentially size smaller since we don't rep a ton of bluffs, we are hoping to get called by 9x or possibly an overpair from the first opener, somewhere around half pot does better for us.
bet 170 turn
Yep, when villain gives up the initative on the turn he's playing a cautious strategy, so at the same time he is getting called by 2 people over the flop I'd expect him to make some hero folds if he ever bets there QQ+ with 100% frequency, but def I think he would be folding it. If you think villain isn't gonna call you that often, best option here is to check call, inducing some bluffs/ fake valuebets from him
post flop well played. pre not sure probably close. checking river would be terrible
