Information:
I had played no hands with Villain.

My thoughts:
Against the BB range I think checking back the flop is completely reasonable however I decide on this occasion to CBet. I think CBetting larger (50%) here, given we don't bet as often and its a wet board, would make more sense, but 33% is fine.
For the turn, I think with any Ks, Qs, Ts etc.., that isn't a made hand, we have to bet here. We have little show down and a lot of equity. I think, as we are repping a flush or better with an uncapped range, a larger sizing makes sense. My made flushes wouldn't bet more than pot so I elect for 75% with both value (flushes, sets etc...) and bluffs.
For the river, on a non board pairing card, or a card that at least wasn't as favourable for the BB range, I think I have to triple barrel this. I have K high, with the Qs blocker. However, the big blind crushes this board. They have all the two pair, sets, flushes and now full houses.

Comments on my thought process throughout the hand, wanting to triple barrel and giving the river up? Thank you.

I I would have checked on the turn to realize my equity for free, and if it came to a check on the river, I would bet around 70% on any card except doubles. This is a soft line for this bad turn.

I would big bet or check this board. Then probably give up turn, it's not that bad to bet but would.rather a higher flush draw plus you are still ahead of some draws (and its not a great card, e.g. 65 and 86 turn two pair, 97 gets there too). River is not that bad but once he calls a big turn bet I would give up
