10nl unsure about flop sizing

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (5 Players) BB: $15.50 (Hero)
UTG: $17.00
CO: $9.85
BN: $3.14
SB: $11.29
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is BB with J K
UTG folds, CO calls $0.10, BN calls $0.10, SB raises to $0.70, Hero raises to $2.10, CO folds, BN folds, SB calls $1.40
Flop ($4.40) 7 A 9
SB checks, Hero bets $2.94

main villain was a reg. I decided to 3bet here as he was ISOing at basically 100% frequency at this point and the fish were limp folding often so I expected to just pick up the pot here a lot. What do you guys think?
I also was unsure about c-bet sizing on the flop. I figure that this isn't a board that I'm definitely range betting given it's somewhat connected and middling, but one that I still have range advantage on. I felt that 1/3 was too small and something like 2/3 was too big. I struggle with sizing on these kind of boards, especially in 3bet pots. What would you guys recommend?

In 3-bet pots I typically like to go right around half sizing for balance reasons since stacks are usually in by the river in 3-bet pots so sizing doesn't have as much of an impact than in single raised pots.

as far as balance goes, half pot works well for both your value c-bets and light c-bets. It gives you a good amount of RFE when c-betting light and half pot on each street is usually good enough to gets stacks in when going for value on wet boards.

I like a small bet on that flop so you can have more bluffs on the turn I guess
Also, remember to sometimes check flush draws so you have them when you check and a diamond comes/you want to bluff blank turn to balance the AA that checks the flop , think the best one would to check would be KQ tho. You probably know this but I see a lot of people overlooking it.
