Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $2.06 (103 bb)
MP: $8.63 (432 bb)
CO (Hero): $2.27 (114 bb)
BU: $2.28 (114 bb)
SB: $3.95 (198 bb)
BB: $3.90 (195 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is CO with 9 9
2 players fold, Hero raises to $0.06, BTN calls $0.06, 1 fold, BB calls $0.04

Flop: ($0.19) 2 5 K (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($0.19) 4 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.12, BTN calls $0.12, BB folds

River: ($0.43) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.27, BTN calls $0.27

99 on CO is a standard open. Flop was flushy and multiway. I expected them to call a wide range.
T 4 completed some straights but I considered it rather as a safe card so I delayed cbet.
I continued betting on the river because I blocked a flush and got one call. Now I'm thinking if that cbet on the turn is correct.
Woud be line x flop, x turn, x/c river be better?

There is a flush draw possible OTF. You do block one out. Multiway people tend to play a bit more careful and imo they are more likely to fold more, not call with a wide range. It is possible that you have the best hand at the moment but that could change fast if you give a free card to 2 villains. So I think I would bet OTF.

As played I would have bet the turn too. I think check on every street would be a bad idea.

As played, OTR I might make the sizing smaller.

Why do you bet the river with this hand? Blocking the flush is much more important when check/calling and that's what I would do.

I think check calling is an option. But if he makes it closer to a pot size bet, I'm not sure if we should be calling?

My idea behind a small river bet was to maybe get some value from some weaker pairs, and also to make a block bet. If we check I wouldn't be super happy to see a big bet from villain.
