both guys are LP-P.

What was worst? the check/call on the turn or the overcall on the river? Had my worst night yesterday ever.

Not betting the flop is bad. You bet the turn.. I would also call the river.

you think a checkraise is bad? You might be right, i was semi-tilting when i played this hand.

K kicker is fairly strong...

This is fine, but against passive players I very much prefer betting out. Way too many draws. As it turned out, the running deuces typically help your hand and if you lost it certainly isn't becuase you played it awfully.

Bet the river brick.

bet, bet, bet. You have TP2ndK, u need to extract value from this, u have no idea where a flop bet is coming from in order to c/r. Also, u don't want to give a free card. If raised, u can re-evaluate and call/ fold/ or i suppose re-raise against a maniac.

normlly, you dont want to check raise if a free card can kill you. if anything you are trapping here when you want to push ppl out. your hand is strong, but on this board it will lose its share. another leak in your game may be not value betting the river. i bet this river 100%, if they are passive they will not raise w/o a monster and i dont see a monster out there.
