For me this is just a very bad bad bad beat.. Unless, I have 1% doubts.. Should I here represent the K on the river with a very large bet?

Not really a bad beat.

Nh wp. I think betting river is too thin value.

What does nh wp means?
Sorry not native English

Still been thinking about this one.. My stats were 25/21 and Cbet 65 and fcbet 30. I had a strong image because $wsd was 72%.

The button had 21/17 and cbet 30 and fcbet 50. So that he would call my cbet was almost obvious, and my 2nd barrel too.. But I had 2 pair and I had seen him reraising already with top pair good kicker.
So the J comming on the river was his only out but now the K showed up and scared him too I guess, but still thinking he would folded when I placed a well pot size bet.

Nice hand, well played. Also you're playing 2nl, people dont notice your image.

I had this exact hand type happen to me too. Just shrug it off, it happens. Will happen with you on the winning side too
