I totally agree with this.
Those monotone flop boards are "checky" boards. You should be checking a lot here. Even with flopped flushes. The reason is that value is usually thin and you look very strong.
I don't mind triple check/calling here as pokamon suggested and it is a line you should consider taking when playing against good players/higher limits. Firstly, because players are aggressive enough and bet more often. Secondly, because you have to include a bit of deception in your game.
But at NL2 I think it is totally fine to check flop, bet turn and river for instance. Or bet/bet/check-call.
Triple barreling against a 14/7 and expect to be called with worse won't happen (although sample size is clueless).
As played, I think you have to call the river raise theoretically. At NL2, you can definitely fold.

Fold PF, check at least one street. I would check OTF and make a d-CB, or call three times vs aggression. As played fold OTR is the right move IMO.

I agree with semirami. Plus with that huge reraise OTR, from a villain that seems tight its better to fold.

I think you could have went really small with your flop cb say 1/3 or even 1/4 psb I understand and agree somewhat with wanting to check/call but I don't think OTF is the best place to start as by doing this if villain decides to check back which in a lot of cases will happen especially at 2nl the last thing you will want to see is another heart rolling off, I think once you are called OTF I would then go in to check/call mode OTT with intentions of check calling both turn and river. As played I think folding river is the right play imo..

I don't think that you have to worry much for another heart coming OTT. A and K are on the board so only Q and J are overcards, he does not have many hands with them and if he has one we can do just about nothing, we cannot protect our hand in this situation, definitely not with "really small". The main problem here is that this hand is played at all. It's difficult, you'll be OOP all of the time and you'll end up in tough postflop situation a lot. See even when you flop near the nuts it's not an easy hand to play and you lost 40BB with flush with no showdown.

This is 2NL zoom, you just dont need to play such hands, even if you are very good postflop this hand will be with about zero equity, you add variation and waste time, this is zoom and time is money here. Play very tight from early position, steal a lot from BTN and SB, exploit weak regulars, there are many and easy to spot, don't do fancy plays, have a good tilt control, and you can have 6-7 BB/100 easily without much effort and with little variation.
