Line Check, do you check anywhere? River bet too thin? or tough luck?

Pre-flop I would call most of the time. If you 3bet like now there is a decent change you will play a big pot out of position.

As played I would Cbet around 35c for value against a unknown on NL2. As played I would shove the river for thin value. It makes no sense to keep 18c behind.

I did it for the psychological aspect of leaving villain a few cents left behind to make him feel more comfortable calling with worse, I try this every so often to try and make it not look as strong as all-in.

I think that the squeeze pre-flop is OK -- but KQo is pretty much as low as ever you would go — and even then it would be player dependant.

I think that the CBet needs to be bigger. You need to charge a bigger price even on a dry flop.

Unlucky turn

I think you got yourself into a shitty spot.
Now, I try to avoid such spots even I still get myself into them sometimes. I rather not squeeze OOP with mid-strong hands like KQo at NL2 and NL5, I don't see it profitable long term.
Mostly you don't get enough value if your ahead and mostly you will lose a lot with them, too.

seems to be working well for me. I am careful about my selection of who and when I 3-bet from OOP. playing an aggressive game pre-flop has been helping me a-lot versus the high rake by taking pots down pre-flop a bunch. I don't agree with this statement as people at 2nl cannot fold top pair so when I have them crushed I get tons of value. In this spot though I think the river is close, I believe I could check the river if I think he is folding his TT,99 to this river bet.

I had myself in a great spot until villain hit his 2 outter on the turn and just flat called, I try not to be result orientated though.
