PL100z spot

Blinds: $0.50/$1.00 (6 Players) BN: $99.76
SB: $215.64
BB: $319.43
UTG: $103.62 (Hero)
MP: $273.38
CO: $74.00
Preflop ($1.50) Hero is UTG with J 7 A 9
Hero raises to $3.50, MP folds, CO calls $3.50, 3 folds
With table on the nittier side I'm confident about this open. CO is rather decent and I dont expect him to show up with 9983ds or QT96ss.
Flop ($8.50) K T 9
Hero bets $6.02, CO calls $6.02
Having little to no showdown equity, a strong draw and a flop, that is good for our range, I feel this is a mandatory bet. It might be as good for our opponent's range, but both x/calling or x/jamming seem to be inferior choices (villain not known to stab light).
Turn ($20.54) K T 9 A
Hero

This turn spot is a real mystery to me. All 3 options (b/c x/c & x/jam) make me feel uneasy. Any opinion is welcome. I'll assume we can take most of QJ out of this players flop calling range, so then there are sets, any 2P+, and pair+GS+FD types of hands. But I have hard time figuring how to play this spot against that range. Thanks!

For me, this spot turns in to a bet bet bet most times. It seems like a perfect hand to take to river and increase number of bluffs compared to vale that we have on the river.

On a nitty table I would expect a lot of raises with the nuts and calls with marginal/medium strength hands. This board suggests villain (if a nit), stats would help, but if he is a nit then the nuts he does not have. I'd continue on this turn. We can get value from KTJx, KQ9 etc.

I'd be annoyed vs an aggro opponent on this board as his range is less defined. For example, i'd expect to get called down lighter, but if they're a thinking play they may punish A turns as betting KT9 he cannot expect you to have AAxx here to often due to it being such a bad board for a c-bet with said hand and he would have JQ more often than you.

I am not afraid to get raised OTT much. Villain is short and would have raised QJ a lot of the time OTF. If he just had called with sets, well now he has even less incentive to raise turn with I think. You can even pot/call with this stack sizes and make it at least breakeven.
