This is an awful spot because so few hands make sense, either that we beat or that beat us. The only value hand that we beat that I can think of that makes sense is T9, and there are 6 combos of that. But would trip 9s really bet that much on a board that a) should be scary to anyone who can't beat trip 9s, and b) might be scary for him as well? (I think other made hands we beat would have raised flop or turn--the only possible exception being a hand like 88/98 that somehow put us on a huge hand and is bombing it now that he filled up, but that beats us now anyway.)
As far as bluffs, there are plenty of hands that might have gotten this far that need to bluff--Villain could have any Tx (since all he did was check the BB). I think if we know Villain is capable of bluffing a busted Tx with an overbet like this, we probably have to call because once we put that in his range it probably comprises the majority of it. But if Villain were bluffing, would he bet this big? I mean, maybe...he might think we have a big hand because we bet the turn into a huge field of flop callers. But I don't know, and it sounds like OP doesn't either.
In a vacuum, I am folding. It looks like value, and value means probably Jxdd, which we are losing to. In-game I might either avoid this spot by bet/folding, or I *might* call if I had a read that this could be a bluff with Tx.
EDIT: By the way, I wonder if we might want to check/raise flop or turn. What OP did is fine too, but I don't think it's bad to try for a check/raise on either street.
