PFR KTs COvBB, elect to check behind JT9 /w BDFD, faced with turn lead

BN: $34.79
SB: $23.51
BB: $24.05
UTG: $25
HJ: $18.71
CO: $25.60 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt T K
UTG folds, HJ folds, Hero raises to $0.60, BN folds, SB folds, BB calls $0.35
Flop ($1.30) 9 T J (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero checks
Am i ever betting the flop so that i can represent stronger hands by the river?
Turn ($1.30) 9 T J 6 (2 Players)
BB bets $0.75, Hero calls $0.75
during the hand i made the check back fairly quickly and called the turn. But as i thought about it so i realized villain can play this spot well. My hand looks a lot like mid or low pair on the flop 'with something' but my outs aren't particularly great as they either discounted or gives villain a better hand.

I need him to be stabbing the turn fairly often. He can very well just have a better hand too

thoughts?
River ($2.80) 9 T J 6 A (2 Players)
BB bets $1.70, Hero folds
Final Pot
BB wins $2.67

I can see reasons for both checking and c-betting flop. I guess it comes down to how you want to split your range. It's tough because unless your range is well balanced the check means you rarely have a strong hand and a switched on villain (maybe unlikely at NL25) could try to take the pot away with almost anything. For that reason I might prefer checking back some TpTk type hands with the intention of calling down. 

If you do c-bet I think you also should be calling a raise and continuing if you pick up more equity on the turn. If we just get called the way the board runs out in this hand I think we'd check turn and hope to get to showdown which we should do unless he rivers 2 pair as if villain had a big hand on the flop we'd likely have heard about it.

As played I think it's totally fine.
