In retrospect this looks like an awful spot to bluff because I am not repping really anything that can beat the flush. Any KK, JJ, 66 (unlikely because that would be a fold or flat at these stakes) would have bet the turn most of the time IMO. Also I'm not sure a KK would almost pot the flop.
Besides my play, is there something wrong with the above thought process? :)
Thanks!

Look on this in a sense that your hand is nothing. Because it really is - you aren't blocking 99 or QT/K9 because he doesn't have those on this action.
If you want bluff - Jx would be a candidate and you shouldn't play any offsuit one diamond as turn check(mainly AQ, because other you don't 3bet)
Hero folds pre
At these stakes I'm pretty sure you got at least one other caller and you end up postflop with a marginal hand, unless you flop really well.
Well, I'm be a nit, but you better off 3betting a stronger range and as you move up, especially in skills, you can widen up if table conditions permit it.
Again, imho, the best you can do for yourself at these stakes is to exploit the #1 leak of his population, calling too much.
Focus on value bets first
Anyway, can you elaborate on this?
Is it a fold for you or fold the entire population?
I think 3-betting some suited connectors at some frequencies in position to balance the 3-betting range is fine. But I guess balancing is not important at these stakes. You could definitely get away with flatting suited connectors as at these stakes because you get squeezed less often I guess.
My thinking is NL2 Zoom population is quite nitty and tend not to defend openings OOP, so I'd rather put some suited connectors in my 3-betting range IP even if they play rather well in multiway pots.
I think 66 is a flat if SB/BB are weaker players, otherwise I'd rather fold it as I will have to fold em against a squeeze. I guess you could also exploitatively raise them if villain overfolds to 3 bets.
Also, the rake is pretty high at NL2 so I prefer raising preflop.
Pre: it's a decent hand to 3B at some frequency, so that is ok
Flop: your sizing is far too large and you let villain filter his range so well with it. He can basically fold out all of his range except for Kx, 6x (tho he probably has very few 6x), and flush draws. This is a flop that we can bet 1/3rd pot w/ our entire range. The GTO solution likely has some larger bets too, but this would not be a combo that falls into the larger bets category, and implementing multiple sizings on flops like this at 2NL adds complexity to our game we do not need. Additionally it being a 3B pot, we don't need to size up so much to get all the money in.
Turn: we actually pick up equity here so this hand actually makes a good candidate to barrel. I would much prefer bluffing the turn than the line you took.
River: No, just no. You filtered his range to Kx, flush draws, and 6x. The flush draws just made a nutted hand, and Kx and 6x are very unlikely to fold. This was a give up on the river.
