Default I hate Jacks

Jacks have been giving me trouble lately. Either I take the blinds, or maybe get one caller and take that, or else I bleed when someone has trips or hits an overcard or whatever. I feel like treating them like 33. Maybe it's that I will throw TT away when a K hits the turn, but here I bet the jacks again.

Villain's only been at the table one orbit, so no read. He's not too grossly loose or tight, not too bluffy nor too passive.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) converter

Hero ($13.90)
MP1 (Villain) ($16.20)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 (Villain) calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP1 (Villain) calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.35) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Villain checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, Villain calls $2.

Turn: ($6.35) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Villain checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3</font>, Villain calls $3.

River: ($12.35) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Villain bets $5</font>, Hero ...

1) Should I have bet more on the turn?
2) As played, what's my river line?
3) What's his range of hands?

The way I usually play this is check the turn, call a reasonable river bet.

I think villain has either A9 or some kind of busted straight draw.

Yeah, I hate the turn bet. Especially the size. Either bet a bit more, or check it through. Checking is best play though.

Just to be clear, the reason that I check the turn is to induce a river bluff by a worse hand.
