Overpair vs half stacker

BB: $2821.52
UTG: $1970 (Hero)
HJ: $1073.53
CO: $1030
BN: $2793.87
SB: $2582.24
First or second orbit on Bovada so no reads.
Preflop ($30.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt 9 T K K
Hero raises to $60, HJ calls $60, CO calls $60, BN folds, SB folds, BB folds
I think this is considered pretty standard with suited Kings and some connectivity. Depending on how aggressive the table is this *may* sometimes be just a call. Would anyone ever think about limp raising this hand?
Flop ($210.00) 3 9 5 (3 Players)
Hero checks, HJ checks, CO bets $210, Hero raises to $840, HJ folds, CO raises to $970, and is all in, Hero calls $130
I think my general approach would be to check-call this hand against a full stack but there is something about half-stackers that make me spazz out. I do have the Kd blocker...
Turn ($2360.00) 3 9 5 2 (2 Players)
River ($2360.00) 3 9 5 2 7 (2 Players)
Final Pot
Hero has 9 T K K CO has 5 4 K A CO wins $2147

Looking back in Odds Oracle I see that jamming this board has terrible equity against any 2pair or even a bare flush draw which tells me this was pretty bad. I am only looking good against a pair with overs (AQJ9) that don't include a diamond draw. Having said that, a bet from IP is always suspect. Would love to hear some opinions and possible alternative lines.

Thanks
