PT has villain as semi-loose/neutral. Something like 35/5/2 (from memory). My read is that he's bad. Don't have enough to know in what ways he's bad but he's certainly not good.

On the river I think villain bets if he has a K in his hand so I value bet. He can easily have a 9 or TT or A high hand that he'll pay off with. Once he shoves I'm afraid that my best case scenario is a chop.

why did you check the flop?

i definitely fold river as played having only invested $6

The flop check was probably bad. I had been c-betting very frequently so villain should expect a c-bet if he's paying any attention. I figured he's calling with nearly anything if I c-bet the flop and so I could see what the turn brought and re-evaluate.

I timebank/fold/call depending on read.

continue to punish him with the C-bet imo. if he calls the c-bet then you can check behind the turn.

What do you expect to get called by when betting the river? It's a stretch to think he's going to call with JJ/TT or A high. I don't like opening up the betting with a hand that has no value if raised when it's unlikely a weaker hand calls a value bet anyways.

Meh, a 9 with a decent kicker would call here.

I definitely fold this though. I guess it depends how well you know the villain, but I would play a K the same way out of position.

this is a fold a lot however your check certainly doesn't represent a king. if he's bluffy or capable of reading hands then this would be a call.

I kind of like the way you played the hand, i think it's a fold on the river, though it's close.

I agree with Krup; bet the flop.

The only time I gave a thought to checking behind is when I get repoped big. Villain is bad. He calls here with nearly his entire range that's gotten to this point. He's also not particularly agg and hasn't shown any fancy plays. I think the c/r is bizarre since there is no reason for villain to think I'd bet this river. A c/r by villain with a K here is horrible. But we've established that he's bad.

I folded but I think I probably folded the best hand or a chop at worst. Still given the bet size vs the pot size I think the fold is ok.

I'm not happy to have to do it, but I'm calling here so often. It's not because I have a full house, it's because of the story villain is telling. The check on flop is fine, but he bets 1/4 pot on turn he hits trips with? Ok, maybe villain likes to be tricky, but now he's checkraising like 3-4x the pot? That's not tricky and trying to get value from your underfull, that's stupid and bluffy.
