I was not sure, if I should bet the river and turn my hand into a bluff and if this make sense in this spot and how it looks like?
A player might check T9 twice. Your turn check suggests you do not have a straight, so you might get looked up by sets and two pair combinations. It's a question of how many two pair hands call you. Unfortunately, you don't have missed flush draws in your range.
If your opponents tend to lead the turn when they make a straight, then it makes sense to bet if you can get your opponents to fold 88 or AQ. They often will if you have the sort of tight image where they think you are likely to have a set that you will check behind with on the turn. I have the sort of image where AAxx is definitely in my range, given the preflop action, so I can get certain players to fold hands like AQJx or 88xx with a turn bet.
