CO: 42/14/3.8 (66 hands).

Maybe I'm a nit, but this just felt so bad. The flop looks good, so I lead out with a potsized bet. Then the raise surprised me. Not sure what to do, but the only thing running through my mind was "JT, JT, JT". But even if he didn't have JT, how do I have to play this hand? Am I gonna 3bet? Probably not, my hand isn't THAT strong imo. So I decided just to call, which is ugly as well, because playing out of position on such a board with a hand like this seems impossible.

The turn is a very ugly card so I decided to play check/fold.

Something just didn't feel right, but I must have made a mistake in this hand for sure, I just don't exactly know what...

I don't think you are a nit, I would probably fold the turn already, because there are a LOT of ugly turncards on which you cant play further, and maybe you are drawing almost dead anyways, vs KQ, K9, JT. You have a very vulnerable hand OOP, and I would probably fold the flop raise, just because these kind of hands can cost you a ton but you're rarely making any money of it :)

I'd also fold on the flop
Board: Qs Ks 9h
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 39.360% 37.52% 01.84% 12258 601.00 { Qc9s }
Hand 1: 60.640% 58.80% 01.84% 19210 601.00 { KK-QQ, 99, AKs, AsJs, AsTs, As9s, As8s, As7s, As6s, As5s, As4s, As3s, As2s, KQs, K9s, Q9s, JTs, Ts9s, 9s8s, 8s7s, 7s6s, 6s5s, KQo }

And i included a lot of FDs in his raisingrange.

Even on a blank turn your equity doesn't change that much:
Board: Qs Ks 9h 2c
Dead:
