Just wonding if we made any mistakes here?

Is turn till a bet as he can have KQ, Kj , K10

I didn't think he would have A9 here as he should raise flop with that. Alot of 10/9 and 9/8 as thoughs are possible.

Is river to thin if so do we ever fold river?

I didn't think he would have A9 here as; he should raise the flop with that. A lot of 10/9 and 9/8 as thoughts are possible.

My personal rule of thumb is I'll check/call with the nut flush on a paired board, but I won't raise.

I prefer that to bet/fold, and I might even check/fold sometimes.

I think A9 can't be ruled out simply because he didn't raise the flop.

I'm curious to hear what others think.

What worse hands would call a river raise? None, I don’t think — especially after he check‑raised the paired turn. He’d fold 9x to a river raise, in my view. I’d probably just call on the river, but if he’s really bad it’s a close decision between raising and calling.

So, is folding really a viable option in this situation?

Folding isn’t an option for me. In that case you should have folded on the turn already.

I think the villain can value-bet with a hand weaker than a full house. A full house might also have chosen to slow-play on the turn.

I also think your river raise is too thin as long as he isn't super aggressive. Otherwise the check-raise OTT is too strong to simply give him QsJs, which is the only combo, in my view, that would call the flop, check/raise the turn and could bet/call the river that you beat.
