Please review & critique this KQs hand
Only 40 hands on the villain. Nothing spectacular on how he plays springs to mind. 15/10. 1st time I saw his 3bet so I'm guessing he has AJs+ or JJ+

I don't normally play this hand unless I'm in position but wanted to mix it up. It's the first suited connector I've played at the table other than a blind steal 67s (won so nobody saw it). For the 800 hand session I played 14 suited connectors having been dealt 26. Only 2 were played before CO (this being 1).
I call his raise to see the flop as I had good odds and it can flop well.
Flop: ($1.22, 2 players) 9 4 T
Hero checks, CO bets $0.20, Hero calls $0.20
I was getting pretty good odds to call (but I do think one of my leaks is hanging around too long). I took a while to call. I had the gs draw but wasn't counting on it (4 might not have been so with a set of JJ or AJ in his range). In hindsight perhaps calling was dumb as AQ or AK would dominate me.
Still the bet was an odd size, nearly a feeler bet or a blocker. I thought about a re-raise but there were enough set or high pair options for his range I figured that would just be dumb as I'd be stuffed if he re-raised me back and I'm oop.. I'm slow on these things!
Turn: ($1.62, 2 players) J
Hero checks, CO bets $1.62, Hero raises to $4.53, fold
This was a gem for me. With his bet, I thought he'd either hit a set with JJ or TPTK. I also thought his bet showed strength. Given the bet size I discounted a flush draw but when he folded, it is quite possible he was chasing one or had AJ.
Any comments of how I might have got his stack here? Did I stuff up the turn bet?
The pot was $3.24 with his bet so with 1 card to go would a min raise have been a better option?
I know we shouldn't show results here but given there's no river it would have been obvious. I'm after critique on my thoughts & particularly the last bet.
Thanks in advance
