Absolutely. Double barrel your draw.

You have both good pot equity vs his turn range and good fold equity vs the same range. (Eh, it's 2NL so if he's just a drooler... don't do that.)

The K is a good barrel card but he will rarely fold a Q there. What you are hoping he folds is a PP below the Q and the other random hands he has (even though you are ahead of most). Bet around $0.35.

There's a small chance he could lay down a weak Q if you also bet the river when you bet the turn. But chances are at 2nl people won't fold a Q here.

It is a good card to barrel. It will be hard for him to continue with 99.

yeah, I agree that it is perfect card to double barrel on.
overcard on turn is generally good card to double barrel on.
furthemore K gives you gutshot, and you have a little bit more outs to improve you hand.

perfect card to barell, but not at 2NL, just value bet here if c-bet doesnt take it down

I would still do it but its not +EV at this level... thats why I suck at pokers

About stats to look at in HEM: Although 'turn fold vs cbet' measures folds to second barrel, it takes too long to converge to be useful normally. I think looking for a large discrepancy between 'flop fold vs cbet' and 'went to showdown' is more useful. A lot of 2NL players are massive calling stations, so don't try multi-street bluffs on them. Noticing them call down several streets with a weak pair or something is better than stats though.
