Lukewarm hand on a shitty board against a loose player
I donked this one up pretty badly. But I'm wondering how to improve, though I think I can speculate.
Villain who has position on me is 69/17/4.5 after about 50 hands. But somehow I never saw a showdown from any of his winnings, and he had already doubled-up before I sat in. After hand 1 I should have left the table for a better seat.
Historical hand (sometime earlier in the session):

Fairly standard play, I hope.
This one came up sometime later in the session - I was playing nitty and really hadn't seen much, though I had reloaded since the hand above.

Pre-flop: (10 players) xTheHorrorx is MP2 with A J
4 folds, xTheHorrorx raises to $2, MP3 calls, 3 folds, BB calls.
Flop: 9 Q J ($6.25, 3 players)
BB checks, xTheHorrorx bets $4, MP3 calls, BB calls.
Is this standard raise and c-bet? Am I making a mistake in c-betting an agro and chasy player? Of course his smooth-call says nothing, as he would float plenty of flops in raised pots.
Turn: 3 ($18.25, 3 players)
Now what? My hand is very mediocre given the board and villain could have a flush draw, top pair weak kicker, any combo of pair or pair + draw etc.
Thanks for any advice. Against an unknown opponent, I'm probably check-folding the turn here, but against this one, it's questionable. I'm not sure how much show-down value I have, but I am fairly certain that opponent will bet with anything he has if BB and I check.
