Here is a hand I’m pretty sure I royally messed up.

Winning Poker Network Game #1077788868: No Limit Holdem (125/250) [2017/12/17 20:25:01 UTC]
Table: $100,000 GTD Warm Up, Table 61
Tournament: 8115810
Seats: 8
Seat 1: nometiembla (24,822)
Seat 2: BlueBaboon (7,262)
Seat 3: xKINGSFULLx (8,318)
Seat 4: bubsl{}ve (9,586)
Seat 5: LeSluuu (9,378)
Seat 6: bAllinOnAbud510 (12,998)
Seat 7: puicachamp (9,520)
Seat 8: bowdownfishes (18,116)

Hero:  In Big Blind 33bb 2♦2♥

Villain:  In CO 72bb.  VPIP/23 PFR/28 (8/29) from CO, 15 overall.  Flop C Bet/46 (6/13)  Turn C Bet 0.  Over a 270 hand sample.

125/250/25

Villain opens CO to 600, 2 folds, Hero in BB calls.  Pot:  1525

Flop:  J♦ 8♠ 9♦

Hero  (7,693): Checks with the intention of floating flop.  A lot of cards I can rep on turn, diamonds, 7’s, Q’s maybe some 9’s and 8’s. 

Villain  (17,491) :  Checks back.

Turn:  7♠  Board:  J♦ 8♠ 9♦ 7♠ Pot:  1525

Hero  (7,693):  Leads 649 assuming to take it down a lot.  This board smacks my BB Defend range.

Villain  (17,491): Calls 

River:  2♠  Board:  J♦ 8♠ 9♦ 7♠ 2♠  Pot:2823

Hero  (7,044): ??

At this point it seems very likely I’m beat. Villain could have checked back Tx or TT or called my small turn bet with a flush draw.  I can’t really think of any hands I can beat.  Is this an easy clear cut check/fold which I think it is?  Any merit is putting out a blocker bet?  

The Result:

Big Dumb Idiot aka Hero  (7,044):  Bets: 949  Pot: 3772

Villain: Calls and shows K♠T♦ 

Gross river but I can’t justify anything else other than check folding.  Thoughts?  Thanks and have a good one.

I personally would go into check call mode on river. I cant see him flat calling 10x on that turn with 2 flush draws out there much.

(clearly did now I revealed the spoiler lol) but majority of the time I can see 10x getting as much value from flush draws in that spot.

I am check/folding post flop this one, unless i improve and proceed with caution, very conected this board.

Both of you have wide ranges, when you say this flop smash your range, i think also smash his range.

Guess I am check calling ~50% pot OTR, there is some hands that V will call turn, like 6x Qx two pairs, overpair, that will raise river if checked to. If you decide to bet river, i dont think you can call a reraise at the point.
