nl5 - river decision?

PartyGaming - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

BTN: 111.6 BB
Hero (SB): 175.4 BB
BB: 117.2 BB
UTG: 100 BB
CO: 112.6 BB

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Js Kh
fold, fold, BTN raises to 2.2 BB, Hero raises to 8 BB, fold, BTN calls 5.8 BB

Flop : (17 BB, 2 players) 2h Qh 8s
Hero bets 5.2 BB, BTN calls 5.2 BB

Turn : (27.4 BB, 2 players) 6d
Hero bets 23 BB, BTN calls 23 BB

River : (73.4 BB, 2 players) 7c
Hero checks

No read on villain
Pre-flop this is the worst hand in my 3bet range here
Flop - betting range here for 1/3
Turn - I decide to barrel this turn for a fairly large sizing; I block some of his Qx with the K and J so targeting pocket pairs and overcards which floated flop
River - should this be a triple having bet the turn? he can probably fold hands like TT + 99 and hands like AJh + ATh#
What do you think?

Thanks for the feedback
So my thinking here was that we have a range and nut advantage and a dry texture which would lead me to make this bet size. Is this incorrect? What would your strategy be here?
What about the rest of the hand as played
Thanks

Since im working with a preflopsolver i started to discount KJo from my SB vs BU 3-betting range vs unknowns. Since then the whole world looks easier to me (beside this nitfeeling while hitting the fold-button).
But with some infos on villain this will become a 3bet pretty fast again.
For post i agree on Citanul...IMO we can bet this specific combo, but then we have to go bigger.
What was your thoughts for betting the turn though? didnt pick up anything and Villain doesnt look too weak at this point.

Yeah in hindsight should just fold pre and check the turn as played. I think it was too carried away by having decent blockers to the Q but there are plenty of other factors which make it more of a check. Thanks for the feedback!

I think this is a fine 3bet pre as part of a linear strategy.

I’m also fine with betting flop, but agree with Citanul that we can’t just be betting this flop small with range out of position.

I’d advocate going polar here when we bet, betting some decent hands for value and some suitable bluffs. Betting polar also means upping the sizing.

I think this specific combo is a decent candidate to be part of our bluffing range, as we block some Qx combos and we can turn equity on a heart or broadway card.

I’d be giving up this turn with this hand. We have more suitable hands to bluff, and we’re probably overbluffing if we include hands like this in our turn range.
