I still struggle with when I should call turn/river bets and when I shouldn't...
What should I do, or should I have done earlier in the hand?

PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 9 players

mathplayer (UTG): $2.14 (107 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is SB with A K
5 players fold, Brainsen007 (CO) raises to $0.06, 1 fold, HERO (SB) 3-bets to $0.22, 1 fold, Brainsen007 (CO) calls $0.16

Flop: ($0.46) 9 Q A (2 players)
HERO (SB) bets $0.31, Brainsen007 (CO) calls $0.31

Turn: ($1.08) T (2 players)
HERO (SB) checks, Brainsen007 (CO) bets $1, HERO (SB) folds

Total pot: $1.08 (Rake: $0.04)
Brainsen007 (CO) wins $1.04

Since I don't have any HUD, I have absolutely no idea what this player is like.
In retrospect I think I should have bet the turn myself.

I'm assuming that he has AQ / AK maybe 99's, he might have AJs for flushdraw...
Do you think his range is wider than that?

I prefer x/c flop and turn and see what happens on the river. you have TPTK. playing this OOP is hard I think, my approach is a little more passive.

You block KJ here so less likely to see a straight.
You still have enough outs to x/c twice.

Why would you check call flop when the board is so draw heavy? I want people with a weaker hand to pay to see their hand improve. The problem on the turn is that a lot of hands in his range actually hit. So what hands do you think he is doing that play with?

In my opinion he is rarely going to bluff in this spot (or am I wrong here?)
Considering he is not bluffing, what hands is he going to do this with? I don't think I beat that many hands...

If you x/c twice you are bound to fold the river, so that seems like a negative play.
