Hi guys, appreciate your thoughts on this. I bet out each turn because I needed to protect and punish draws. However I just checked it back because of the river flush. should have I bet for value just in case he hit his queen?

Pacific Poker - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 58 BB
BTN: 78 BB
SB: 110.5 BB
BB: 97 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 4 BB, fold, BTN calls 4 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (9.5 BB, 2 players) 4

Hero bets 6 BB, BTN calls 6 BB

Turn: (21.5 BB, 2 players) 6

4bb pre is so outdated, do people still do this?
I usually open to 2bb (from every position) but I see 2-3bb recommended everywhere these days

I'd probably go for a smaller sizing on the turn
It's pretty hard for villain to have a worse hand he can call with here.

I wouldn't mind a small (block) bet on the river.
We get value from some worse hands like Qx and we won't have to call a bigger bet from low flushes that got there.
I don't mind checking either.
