Hi guys, can i get some feedback on this hand. i have no reads or stats, since my PT isnt configured right.

Full Tilt Poker, $0.10/$0.25 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

BB: $51.80
UTG: $25.20
CO: $56.60
Hero (BTN): $29.70
SB: $25

Pre-Flop: J K dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG folds, CO calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, SB folds, BB checks

Flop: ($0.85) Q J T (3 Players)
BB checks, CO bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, BB folds

Turn: ($1.35) Q J T [ 5 ] (2 Players)
CO checks, Hero checks

River: ($1.35) Q J T 5 [ 2 ] (2 Players)
CO checks, Hero bets $1, CO folds

Results: $1.35 Pot ($0.05 Rake)
Hero mucked J K and WON $1.30 (+$0.80 NET)

I just limped because i would feel best in a multiway pot, and i had been caught stealing in some of the previous hands.

On the flop i had middle pair and OESD + backdoor flush? should i raise or what is the correct play?

Raise preflop for sure. You want to punish people who open limp by playing a raisd pot OOP.

On Flop, I like a raise since the 1/3 pot bet seems weak and you have a ton of equity should we face aggression. Calling is fine two as we are being given a good price to draw to our straight and we already have showdown value.

Id certainly be betting turn for value when checked to though

So I should reraise his 0.25 bet on the flop?

Yes. I like checking behind the turn, I wouldn't bet turn for value here because we can draw free and we only have middle pair, so what hands would be calling our value turn bet that we beat?
If we ever bet turn it would be as a pure bluff, i.e. he would fold TPNK type hands. This is not a good idea since if we make our straight there is a possibility of playing our hand for value, and not just as a bluff. Your river bet is also a pure bluff, and he might even call that with TPNK, so it's marginal at best.
Best line would be raise PF to $1 and go from there

Raise PF to 1.25, isolate that limper. Raise the flop, his his flop bet, he's weak pressure him. Bet the turn value, charge him for all his Kx draws he has, you prob have the best hand too, you like your hand at this point so get some more money in the pot while you can. River is easy value
