NL5 Questions

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) BN: $11.07
SB: $4.85
BB: $5.00
UTG: $5.00
MP: $5.00 (Hero)
CO: $7.48
First of all: i opened, cause in SB sits rec player with nice fold to Cbet Flop and realy high VPIP (like 50 for 200 hands). In CO reg, but he is more on a weakish side (low 3bet pre, high fold to Cbet, low Cbet flop), but i dont have a lot of hands on him. BU = nit, BB = reg.
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is MP with K 9
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.15, CO calls $0.15, 3 folds
Flop ($0.37) J 3 9
Hero bets $0.17, CO raises to $0.64, Hero calls $0.47
At this point comes first question. My thoughts on Cbet were: 1. My range is pretty ok on this flop. 2. His range on this flop mostly draws or weak pairs.

When he raises: He should have a lot of draws, tiny bit of sets (33 sometimes, may be 99) and air. It could be sometime weak jacks, buti didnt think he plays this way. Cause i block his value i thought its ok to call here
Turn ($1.65) J 3 9 7
Hero checks, CO bets $1.00, Hero calls $1.00
Here i am not sure if its ok to call, but i guess he continues with all missed draws (TQ, KQ, FD, sometimes AQ) and onlin T8 gets there, witch should be a lot of combos in hes preflop calls
River ($3.65) J 3 9 7 3
Hero checks, CO bets $2.00, Hero calls $2.00
And here i thought its not a blank, but a card for me to bluff catch. All draws , except T8 missed, i block 9fulls and river brings another blocker to his value range.
Final Pot MP wins and shows two pair, Nines and Threes.
CO lost and shows a pair of Threes.
MP wins $7.33
Rake is $0.32

Question about flop Cbet is a lot of importance to me, but moreover i would like to know if its ok overall to bluff catch on such read. Right now i have struggle on NL10 and NL25 and because of that i decided to play NL5 and find my mistakes. I felt like i have a lot of troubles with big pot (i lost a lot in pots with KK vs AA or in preflop action with AK vs AA etc). But after this hand i realised it could be much worse than just big pot problem.

Thx in advance for your help!

Dont think cbet here is particularly good, that board hit him hard, and your hand as well not want to blow pot to get value. Other than that, can fold any street, and should fold turn!

Flop cbet doesn't really make sense. It's a low frequency betting spot in theory to begin with, so betting a hand like this seems meh.

As played turn is probably a fold.

I think the Kd9d open is fine in general. But c/c flop. You have a ton of showdown value but you'll never get a better hand to fold.
If he checks back flop, you might go for thin válue on turn 7c. But you`ll have to continue on most river cards.
