Hello, long time lurker, first post. I used to play full ring normal tables on pokerstars, but am only a small winner at 5NL/10NL after a 250k hand sample (2 bb/100). Decided that I really need to work on my game and develop all the basics, so I´m currently grinding 5nlz 6-max, as I think it´s the best format to develop the standard lines.
This was my biggest losing hand today, and I´m not sure if I should really bet/bet/bet/fold here as my standard line. Hope someone can help me and explain why. No reads on anyone. Thank you very much, any help will be appreciated.

Hi!
Personally I don't like leading the flop, unless aggressor cbets with very low frequencies (or some other strange situations). I don't think there's a rule saying no to donkbets, but be sure to know what kinds of hands you want to lead, check/call, and check/raise. For example you may want to lead weak draws, 2pairs or better on drawy board, or other stuff I can't think about, x/raise with strong draws and strong made hands, x/call with middle pair, etc etc.
Also keep in mind that he has some monster in his range (JJ+, AK) but you have none, because you didn't 3bet preflop. So leading feels a bit weird to me.
In this spot I like to 3bet preflop, cbet that flop, check the turn and go from there.
Your bet on the turn wants money from draws, and looks like draws are in your range, but the K can be in his range way more than in yours. AK of diamonds, KX of diamonds for sure. If CO plays like me I'm gonna have a big part of my broadways overcards because I hate folding a flop donkbet.
River to me is a check/call as played, unless he bets very big.
By betting on the river you make weakest hands folding (or in a difficult spot to hero-call, with 99 for example), and better hands calling or shoving.
Instead, if you check/call he will be tempted to bluff his busted draws, and you save money if he has it (I'm thinking 65s, slowplayed sets, KX, and so on).
Hi,
Mandatory squeeze preflop for value. You are way ahead both willain's ranges.
As played I wouldn't be leading the flop unless if CO has a very weak cbet%. But he seems to be a fish (bc of his stack) so why not, but make a larger size to value strong then. ;)
On the K you should really check, you don't accomplish much by betting here. Same for the river
