This is a MicroMillions $11 PKO. Not much info on the opponent. Do you guys would take any other path? Do you think checking the turn is better then betting? I think if I bet there on turn I should have bet more since AQ, Kx hands are also in my range.

as played you cannot bet small on the turn since your value range is KQ+, hence sizing half pot+

as played this will be not in gto solution without nodelocks, but you prob have to bluff this on the river and instead give up some 67dd type combos.

basically on the turn you bet way too thin and screw yourself on the rivers when he bets
i havent looked at wizzo so let me if im far off. glgl

Preflop
This is a very loose open. I would need to be in CO or later to play this hand.

Flop
Top pair bad kicker is not strong enough to go bet, bet, bet for value. Its a rainbow board, and the only overcard to your pair would be an ace. So your hand dont need much protection, and for that reason I would start defensively with a check and then of course call any normal bet from the opponent. In general you are supposed to do way less C-betting against an in position caller than a big blind caller, and this hand is a perfect example of when to not C-bet out of position.

Turn
As played you should check now for the same reasons, you should have checked on the flop.

River
Now there is a 1-liner to an A or 9 and a ton of two pair combos, he can have. As played you dont beat much, so unless you want to turn your hand into a bluff, its definitely a check-fold. But I think, the more important streets are the early ones, where you should just fold preflop and take a more defensive line postflop, if you somehow accidentally pressed the "raise" button.

When we get called by the person to our direct left we are going to be checking the flop very often with made hands and with misses as they will have similar ranges to us so we do not have a large range advantage- therefore we do not range bet. So we check this hand often because when we bet and are called it will be by a condensed range of hands that have very good equity vs us or are ahead already.

If we do bet a smaller bet of 33% does exactly the same things for us as a halfpot bet with the added value of getting more hands to call that we are ahead of

On the turn vs standard players who do not find enough bluffs another small bet/ fold to a raise is a good option to have in our tool kit.
We can also check and decide on V bet size if we bluff catch but V is going to have a lot of better hands now and some great draws

On the river we lost to too many hand combos to call- MDF would have us call min two pair.

Our bet sizing condensed V range so much we have to fold this river had we bet smaller sizing maybe we could call even then our hand is just soo weak vs what bluff do we beat?

Pre: I think you can only open this in this position if you are at a weak table and also are very certain there are no 3 bettors likely behind. I would be folding this in this spot unless I had some info and even then I would rather just fold.

Flop: Given there are 2 broadway cards there is worse that can still call here and depending on villain (if they like to float a lot) which would be my main driver of betting or checking here, I think you can go either way. We are not overly strong so I think if im up against a floater or sticky villain I can see c betting here but I can also see checking here as well and seeing if we can get our opponent to bet into us. If I am betting here, its going to be a small amount like 35% of pot.

Turn: Wetter board now which make me think I can get more calls from worse however as FunDiver above points out this is not a bet, bet, bet hand or board. I think if we bet flop it is our best interest to check here, if we checked flop then we can bet here assuming villain checked behind on the flop. As played, I think you should check here.

River: Not a good card as many Jx now have two pair and of course there is 4 to a straight. I would check here every time no matter what I did first two streets of the hand. It would be villain dependent on whether I called or folded but there are many, many more villains I would check fold to here rather than check call.
