Villian is reg with wide raise from LP and I assumed he widely isolates the fish.
The flop structure looks good for cbet and I probably misplayed checking the king on turn, because if i had draw or AK i would bet turn and sometimes bluff push river.

If I would not pick up equity I would give up.

As played easy second barrel. You gain top pair and get value from Jx, FD. Preflop is not obvious. You have some info, but still fold is the option.

Its better to bet the turn indeed. You can get value from flush draws and maybe some J hands.
Preflop I personally fold to avoid getting in trouble postflop in a big pot.

I don't think it is a good flop for a cbet.
We have nothing but one overcard (with a bad kicker). No Backdoordraw, no flushdraw, not two overcards, no straightdraw and only a super unlikely backdoorstraightdraw.
This is at least what I should look out for, acc. to w34z3ls walkthrough in 3bet pots.

OTT due to the possible flushdraw a bet is ok. On a dry board I would have checked back the turn and bet on the river, since our hand is not vulnerable. And I think with two bets, we are beat to often.

Thanks Tyrion, I agree our hand on flop is air and check back is reasonable. Can you please share a link to a video by w34z3ls ?

We can barrel vs all villains draws and Jx and control the pot on the river as villain mostly checks river and allows us to check back for showodwn.
