Although, I do prefer a set to trips...
On the turn, I think you need to be making a much larger 3-bet. I would want to try to get the money in here and now, if I assume my 9 is good. The pre-flop play makes it highly unlikely that the opponent is playing 88 or KK, so it's highly likely that trip 9's with an Ace is good right now. However there are two flush draws on the board, so you really need to charge quite a bit for him to see the river. A reasonably strong King is also likely to pay you off, so a larger raise both protects your hand and is a solid value bet. I'm not suggesting your 3-bet should be a shove, but perhaps closer to 90p more for him.
I'm not really used to Sky Poker's hand history presentation thingymibob, but it looks like you raised it 48p more with your turn 3-bet. That gives him odds of about 2.3/1. Obviously not good enough on their own to make the call correct but his implied odds of you calling a river-bet probably justify his call here. He should realise that his two pair, no kicker, are no good at this stage but having the King and a flush draw makes it a difficult hand to fold. So I can't criticise his play on the turn.
It's a tough hand after the flop, mainly because you have little information on the strength of your opponents' hands. I have no idea what would possess someone to limp into a pot, pre-flop, with K2. The best advice would seem to be to get very aggressive pre-flop when people limp and you have half a hand. Follow it up with a c-bet on most flops and you'll make alot of money from players like this.
Hope that's helpful and that you don't need a nap in the middle. Essay writing for the win.
river you have to call ul.
also i dont think your opponent played it too bad
jam turn imo river you have to call ul.

I dont think this is a good idea. You want value right not folds from worse ? Only boats will ( should ) call in that spot.

@ NL4 i think the min click back tells us the villian isnt folding. Any 9 and K is snapping us off and i think a vast amount of flush draws too.
Pre flop KJs 2 limpers, neither of them are ever folding so i think its best to just flat and see a flop. I also know the BB isnt going to raise with worse either which helps. The BB was a player who doesnt play NL4 usually. He normall higher.
Flop comes down and i flop as big as i can without hitting. Usually here id bet for value at most levels. But a i ever getting it through if i miss? unlikley so check call.
This imo is also why i shove the turn.

yea its a bad example because of the villians hand. but also look at how i play the hand, have i got anything but a flush? a fgood player can fold here. what im getting at is people will call with far worse.
