i would just try to see the showdown as cheaply as possible that implies check otf. not sure what was the idea behind c-bet on this flop - roughly speaking if SB has an Ace, then he doesnt fold, but he folds otherwise.

1) we block a lot of fd's
2) a lot of pocket pairs fold here
3) Kx, Qx are in his range but that should not be the main driver of the decision I believe.
4) in our range there are other hands that we want to c-bet on this flop and JJ is not one of them, I believe.

This is a board where you probably not going to be able to extract a ton of value (bet bet bet), especially being 60bb's deep.
With that being said, I think a bet is fine on otf but It might be best to check back flop and see what he does on turn, if he checks twice you could go for two streets of value.

As played, I'd probably fold to his near pot size bet.

If that’s your take, then you should bet the turn too. If I were holding KQ I’d be inclined to take v’s line here, but would be hard pressed to call a turn bet.
