0.25/0.50$ Thinking... Bet Turn or check call/fold river?

3max table. BB it´s a TAG. BB defense 50% vs BU steal and 3bet 9%.
His x/r flop is 3pair+ (non double pair+) and posible OESD, inclued GS probably.
My 3 bet flop I think it´s correct because he don´t cap me many times, and cap bluff neither; I have some FE for some blufs + posible freecard for my OESD and my pairs.

But, in this situation, you bet turn or not? If I bet turn I get value from their draws and worse hands 3x or pockets. If I check I induce some posible blufs on the river... But most times I will be facing to Qx or Jx so it´s not easier call river.

What you think?

$0.25/$0.50 Limit Hold'em Cash, 3 Players

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K T
Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls

Flop: (4.5 SB) Q 3 J (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero 3-bets, BB calls

Turn: (5.2 BB) T (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: (5.2 BB) 6 (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls

Results: 7.2 BB pot (0.4 BB rake)
Final Board: Q 3 J T 6
BB showed Q 7 and won 6.9 BB (3.4 BB net)
Hero showed K T and lost (-3.5 BB net)

As played on the flop I would bet the turn for free showdown, rather then check turn and call river.

I generally don't like raising for a free card (much less 3-betting) because it tends to suck you in with the worst hand (the pot builds).

As played, it is a check on the turn because you are very obviously behind his range. What is the purpose of 3-betting for a free card if you don't take it when you need it the most? Betting for free showdown on turn has little merit for the same reason (we are already beat by that T if nothing else).

River is a fold, especially if you check behind turn since the pot is small and you beat only maybe T9/T8 (everything else got there), and I don't see why he would bluff with them or small pocket pairs.
