3bet bigger pre (9-10 BB) or not at all, your sizing is useless.
The overbet is massive enough for you to find a fold OTR and call only with KJ I guess...

I'm mostly calling pre. NL2 players won't squeeze enough to put you in problems and even if you get squeezed you can call or just fold, won't be a great deal.
3bet is indeed useless with that size. He's calling the very bottom of his range to those sizings even OOP.
Checking turn is fine, but then river is a bit guessing game when we don't improve and he donks. But if we double barrel, we probably have a 3rd barrel often on spades and broadways, and that would be turning our hand into a bluff.
I see his Ax check-raising turn often. So checking is ok to me overall.
Now that river... I'm even raising his 1/3 to 2/3 bets, but that overbet is just ridiculous. Could be a great call, could be a great fold. Overfolding is generally better than overcalling vs the low stakes player pool.

I think we can't even raise here in fact, no matter the sizing. Villain isn't capped at all (unless we happen to have a strong read on his sizing but that never happens lol) and will have a hard time calling worse except maybe AQo or even say ATs because it's NL2 but the rest of the time it's gonna be better Jx and fulls.
I might minraise with KJ though.

I would flat pre, and if I’m raising (and that’s probably never with that hand in position) I would make it 3x.
Now about the river. I couldn’t ever fold that river, congrats to all you guys who can.

I'm basically gonna repeat what others have already said.
I would just call pre-flop, and if you decide to 3bet use a bigger sizing because this is pointless.

Flop and turn are ok but river is a fold. The overbet is huge. You need to win this about 46% of the time to break even. If you include the rake, you need to win even more often.
Because we made a ridiculous minraise pre-flop, villain still calls that with a wide range, meaning that he has plenty of full houses here. He can also have better trips.
