I was not happy with how I played this hand. IMO I either jam turn or fold river, but idk which one is better?

I like your sizing in this hand but you have to give up after the cbet and call given the runout.
He has all 2pair, sets and straights on river and you don't beat anything in his bet river range. And population in this stakes doesn't bluff river enough
If he bluff you with some Jx or 8x, so be it...

Don't jam turn with overs and gutter
River check /fold is fine

You put yourself in this spot by checking the river. I bet around 400 here to be the aggressor and rep the T myself. There's a very good chance you can get him to fold weak 2 pair hands or you could get him to call with a hand like KJ or KQ. If he raises it's an easy fold or he calls and shows mid/top 2 pair hands.

Check/fold flop.

There is no hand that limp/calls that doesn't have

a) a pair
b) a draw
c) <20% against your hand

And you are facing two of them, and they will often assume you have the hand you have, and the only one they will fold is c). Don't be in the business of balancing overpairs/overcards versus limp/callers.

Take your free cards / showdown.

As played, I don't hate a flop check back.
