Final table of 2,2 deepstacks hand review Final table of 2,2 deepstacks hand review

Yesterday I played in the $2,20 deepstacks on PokerStars, I reached the final table and got to a hand where I don't know if I played it correctly and I would like to get some opinions about it.

URL to the hand: https://upswingpoker.com/replayer/624VJcz57

My thoughts:
Pre flop I think it is a pretty default open, nothing special.

Flop favours my range by quite a lot I think, my range contains a lot of good hands. Their ranges will contain a lot of medium strength hands with one pair, worse flush draws, straight draws. KK, TT and JJ they would've 3bet. They do however have some KJ offsuit, TJ offsuit combo's.

The board connects quite well, also with some combo's in their range and I have quite some good draws so I go for a bigger sizing.

Turn comes another king. Now his KT, KJ, KQ offsuits and Kx lower suited all make trips and my hand doesn't improve at all so I decide to check back.

River comes an ace and he places a big bet. I decided to fold because every king and queen now wins the hand. His KT, KJ, KQ, TQ, QJ, Q9 hands will win.

What are your opinions about how I played it and my fold on the river?

I guess the plan was to blast a big second barrel on a blank turn ?

Sick runout, I would have given up too...

Just wondering if checking back the flop is an option here ? (and call any bet OTT)
We have 12 clean outs to the nuts, and if we hit them after we check on the flop our hand is disguised and we can get a lot of value OTR.

Just wondering, I'm not sure it's a good play

Seems fine. Can probably bet less on the flop than 2/3 given you're probably not folding most decent pieces even with 2/3. BB could have a very wide range given the odds to call pre so any total whiff is folding to any size bet. Don't think there's any other realistic option than folding river at these stakes; I don't think BB is ever light here with that bet.
