Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♦ T♦

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 8 BB, BB calls 7 BB, fold

Flop: (19 BB, 2 players) A♥ 9♦ T♥
Hero checks, BB checks

Turn: (19 BB, 2 players) 8♥
Hero bets 9.5 BB, BB calls 9.5 BB

River: (38 BB, 2 players) K♣

Spoiler

Hero bets 114 BB and is all-in, BB calls 42 BB and is all-in

Hero shows K♦ T♦ (Two Pair, Kings and Tens)
(Pre 31%, Flop 14%, Turn 5%)
BB shows A♣ K♠ (Two Pair, Aces and Kings)
(Pre 69%, Flop 86%, Turn 95%)
BB wins 114.5 BB

Pre: I think 3b vs BU open is justifiable.

Flop: do not know about cbet, decided to check with 2nd pair, TK. Was happy when he checked it back.

Turn: as he checked back, I felt I could now valuebet against Tx and draws. Used a smallish size. Maybe should go bigger in case they have a J and a heart?

River: no draws get there, I make 2pair. Here I played too fast and put him in (my thinking was"I am not check folding so I might as well put it in myself", which is obviously flawed here, even if I am not check-folding. For example, he might bet less than pot. Besides that, check-folding is not totally unreasonable. Or is that results-oriented thinking).

Maybe I should bet very small and fold to a raise.

I do not expect to be beat often, but I don´t know if there is much worse that can call either. His actual holding surprised me a bit.

I would not 3bet this hand. I prefer having a polarized 3betting range from these positions and KTs looks like a clear call to me.
OTF you could bet since you have a pair and backdoor straight draw and villain has some hands that does not hit this flop. But I guess checking is fine since this was a bluff pre flop.
As played I'm not sure about your turn bet. Checking flop and betting turn looks more bluffy + flush completes and some of his hands hit, like 67s,78s,89s. I don't think you have much fold equity there since villain most likely has even some kind of hit on this board.
OTR I don't like your shove. Only better hands will call and there are many of them. I would bet small and target weaker 2 pair and some Tx or Kx hands and ofc fold vs raise.
