I didnt want to Cbet because I thought he will hardly fold and also there are many Ax in his range...

call small bet is ok I think...what if he bet more?

should I call turn too and probably river if he bets small?

Leading is the superior line. Betting straight away it makes the pot easier to play - either he has Ax or he doesn't...either he is going to call or he is not. By checking you might induce some bluffs but sometimes those bluffs are going to catch up, sometimes he is going to barrel twice, etc (I would be more apt to pot control here with KK rather than JJ). Checking makes it more of a guessing game wherein betting narrows his range on the following street and you can play accordingly.

Given his stats of 67/20 if he has some random mid suited connector that hit the board he could ostensibly give you a free showdown so you probably aren't getting blown off the best hand a lot. He may even give you a free showdown with A9o or whatever if he is feeling charitable that day.
