$100 NL 6m newbie confused x 3

I usually play limit, and for the last week or so I've been trying to play some 6max 100 NL, with kind of sucky results.

In this first hand I have no idea of how I would get him to pay me off. My check-call-bet was a rather random result of my confusion.

MP ($76.45)
CO ($123.40)
Button ($117.10)
SB ($215.87)
Hero ($85.15)
UTG ($137.82)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
2 folds, CO raises to $2, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $1.50, Hero calls $1.

Flop: ($6) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $4, SB folds, Hero calls $4.

Turn: ($14) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $9, CO folds.

Final Pot: $23

This second one is a good example on how lost I am on playing draws in NL (in contrary to in Limit which Im used to). It ended with me thinking until the time was up and I was autofolded.

This third one was probably a bad rivercall. I guess I just didnt see a straight draw call my turn raise.
