Live 1/3.
[Edit: SB was clearly a new player and called down with lots of second pair type hands. BB had a large stack when I showed up and had played lots of hands aggressively in the hour or so I was at the table, but always seemed to have the goods, so it may have been a good streak.]
Pick up AsKh on the button. Raise to $15. Calls from SB and BB.
Flop Ac, 9c, 4h. Checks to me, I bet $25, both call.
Turn Kc. Checks to me, I bet $50, SB folds, BB raises to $150. We have $200 behind. Action?

Do you have any reads on the players?

Thanks, forgot to include this. Not much in the way of reads, but I added my general impressions to the post.

Preflop sizing is often very dependent on stack sizes (next time list them up front) as well as number of limpers (I'm assuming zero).
Next time post pot sizing on each street so we know what sizing is going on.
Counting backwards, it looks like SPR is 6ish on the flop, which can be a very awkward one. Board is semi-drawy. Against a noobish SB, you could argue for an overbet on the flop to setup a turn overshove (since you can argue we're committed).
If we don't feel committed (which it looks like we don't given our small flop sizing) I check back the turn. Just too good a chance someone has hit their flush with two callers on this flop (what, everyone has A? otherwise the board is pretty drawless).
Pretty dumb spot now. Not a lotta worse two pears (K9/K4/A4/94, really?). Our hand is face-upish as a big one pair (or bigger) and yet we just got check/raised. We don't have the odds to chase our boat.

Will you edit the post to add stack sizes and if there were any limpets please?

Sorry, unable to edit anymore — but GG is correct. No limpers, it folded to me on the button. My stack started at $300, SB started around $200, and BB covered with ~$600.
