In my opinion, the hand played as the line you took was correct in the way that, there are many ways to play a hand correctly, although I would’ve played it a little different:
Preflop: the same
Flop: check also, but with the intention of checkraising if villian bets.
Turn: if he checks back as he did here on flop, i would’ve started with a bet on the turn, I mean, he could put u on smthng like QJo, T9o for example, having something like 99. I would think that taking the lead on the turn is not bad because he will not put u 100% of the times on Ax or Kx, also he could think u can have draws or air hands (I think villian puts u on a relation 50/50 between this 2 possible bluff/value ranges).
River: if I had bet turn and got called I would’ve made a bet of 2/3 pot, pot or even an overbet, depending on the opponent; against an standard one I would’ve bet 2/3 but there are a lot of hand readers that would think your range makes no sense by playing the hand exactly like that and end up calling even with 99-QQ, also if villian was agro, he could’ve think that u have nothing but if he had air also, he could try to steal the pot on the river by re-raising the 2/3 bet with air to make u fold and put even more value to your flush.
Idk if my thought process is ok, you can make an opinion about it and make me realise where I am ok and where I am wrong. I understand there are a lot of ways on playing hands by the person playing behing the cards, and I think its always better to understand more than one line on every possible situation.
