I'm pondering whether the turn XR has value to knock out the third player than as a semibluff (although it could have value for both). If our opponent might have a better 5, a 9, or a 4, then their fold helps us. Meanwhile, we have nine outs to improve, reducing the cost of this maneuver. I'm not sure it's worth it from that perspective.
If our opponent might barrel twice with hands we beat, then our XR could be for value (and make knocking the third player out much much better), but that seems unlikely.
Meanwhile, I agree with Jon, the only hands we might be trying to get to fold the river are 99-JJ. So I'm not sure that betting a river miss is profitable.
