Default $1/$2 with 99 and K on flop - need to be more aggressive or tighter?

River: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5.5BB, 3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ?? </font>

My play with 33 - 99 stinks. On this hand I am in late position so I would think a raise with 99 is the right play. If I can win the pot right there then good. Flop shows a K and now I don't know what to do. I bet to put off the image of a K (dumb move?) and two people call. Turn is kind of harmless but with 2 players someone could have a K. Should I have bet to semi bluff or check? River is pretty scary but nobody has shown any power on this hand. Should I play this weak or bite the bullet?

I like betting the turn to protect my hand with the intention to check behind on the river UI (Edit: oh against the right opp, I will often bet river for value depending on the river card of course). As played i think i would fire another bet on the river but I rly would of preferred spending it on the turn.

b/f the turn. I check behind the river UI unless we get a really loose turn caller.

easy turn bet/fold and against most 1/2 players check the river UI....of course push for that last bit of value on the river if you have reads

Pretend the K is an undercard and bet bet bet. Dont fear the single overcard but do be wary if 2 overcards and be very cautious with 3.
