PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG (Hero): $2.77 (139 bb)
MP: $2.21 (111 bb)
CO: $3.34 (167 bb)
BU: $2.52 (126 bb)
SB: $1.74 (87 bb)
BB: $2.13 (107 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is UTG with J♠ J♣
Hero raises to $0.06, 2 players fold, BTN 3-bets to $0.18, 2 players fold, Hero calls $0.12

Flop: ($0.39) T♥ 5♥ K♣ (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($0.39) 8♠ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.18, BTN calls $0.18

River: ($0.75) K♠ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.30, BTN raises to $1, UTG (Hero) folds

I'm not at all happy with how I have played this hand. I think I should try to go to the river as cheaply as possible. As the way I've played the hand, I decided to fold because experience tells me that riverbets and reraises are usually not bluffs...

You could check the turn as well to control the pot out of position and than you could call a bet as well.

As played I would check/call the river. It's tough to get value and now villain could change his/her hand in to a bluff sometimes.

The 2nd K is good for you. It actually adds value to your hand, in the way it takes K away from villain range.
You are still behind AA, QQ, but is less likely he has AK.
I think you'll see AA/QQ most of the times there, given the PF. But you are getting 3-1 for the pot... Readless is hard to call and I think populattion tendency for zoom NL2 is to not raise anything you have beaten here, you're on the bottom of the range present in this action.

What range you villain on? I don't play zoom, so I might be very wrong.

88+,ATs+,A5s-A2s,KTs+,QJs,AQo+,KQo

Tough spot to get raised as you can easily have a K.

I think I should try to go to the river as cheaply as possible.

Yeah, I don't mind checking it down, or is that too nitty?
