$2 NLHE Full Ring: Missed value w/ FH?

Hey guys. I have a question with this hand to see if I missed value by being too aggressive with this hand.

I hit the nuts on the flop and just get better on the turn with the second nuts. I could have checked the river to induce villain to attempt a bluff bet on the river but this is 2nl and slow playing also misses value and I have been aggressive in past hands. Was this a good raise or did I miss value with my betting?

i would be bet bet betting here all day. Just because he folded doesnt mean you did something wrong. If he had KQ here he is folding no matter how much you bet. Also you have no guarantee that these 2nl players can bluff the river, they tend to be on the more passive side so i would just vbet them to death and if you dont get paid off its ok

You could probably bet a little bigger on the flop since a lot of their small pair hands are going to call once on a flop like that. Turn looks fine.

Raise more pre and bet more on the turn

yupp yupp!

raise more pre? I raised 12c which is 6xBB (4xBB + 1BB per limper). Would betting 3/4 pot be better or possibly near pot (40-45)?

I think pre is fine as a standard. 40c on flop.

Ditto.
Don't let short term results distract you from the long term best plays.

People at 2nl call a lot so you can make raises bigger. My standard raise was always around 5-6xbb +1 per limp. Here I'd probably bump it to 16 and expect calls
