Default Two pair, correct fold? 50NL

I played a session at 50NL today, and i had this one hand that i became really unsure about, obivously i could have played it different, perhaps a bet on the turn.
What do you think? Did i play it correctley? What to improve?

First of all, you can't just call with the A9s, you're just hoping for the flush then, not representing anything strong.
Ofcourse, when the Ace falls, you don't know if your hand is strong enough, you kinda put yourself in this position by not 3betting him preflop, he has you outkicked to many times. When you spike your second pair, i can't see a fold anymore imo, he either has the AK, AJ or you have him beat, Q10 is a possibility also ofcourse, that's why you shouldve 3betted him preflop, easier to get away then.but thats my opinion on it

Hm, I think your converter didn't include the stack size (that would be important), so I just assume that you had a full stack.
And it would be useful, if you could give any impression of your opponents

I would fold A9s preflop here, cause it's no good hand oop without any initiative, to dominated to 3bet and you don't close the action (UTG could raise again).
Why don't you bet your turned 2pair? I would make it 10$ and see what happens. If both call again, I maybe go for a block-bet-fold on the river, but really dependend on stats/reads.

I play every street differently. I fold or 3bet preflop, depending on villain's stats and tendencies, game flow, etc. As played, I don't see what donking the flop accomplishes. As played, I'd lead turn and river.

Fold pre to prevent these leaks, if 9 comes on turn, best possible card, & you don't go broke, why be in the pot at all?

You can find a better spot

My hand converter does not include stacks sizes, ill look into it, and post them aswell in the future. I tried to choose a table without any shortstacks, so we were all fullstacked.
I had not played with these opponents before so i dont really have any notes on them.
Im really glad i posted this hand cause obivously should have played it totally different from what i did. Hmm so far i really have not 3-bet a lot, i usually do that with a very tight range, perhaps i will try to do it more often when im in position.

Why are you checking the 9 then calling a bet. You telling them your weak. Specially after the bet on the flop i wud of raised his turn bet and if they dont fold check down or fold.
