Preflop is very loose. I would've folded.

As played, no problems with the flop. We have plenty of implied odds if we hit.
I would probably have folded the turn. We pick up an additional gutshot, but even if we spike our K, we aren't getting paid off, so no implied odds.

True. My idea behind this is to silently jump into straight/flush draws while I have a very tight image on the table. is risky as I don´t know what will happen behind me. But only the BB called.

I would probably have folded the turn

Yes, nothing wrong to fold. But the 2/3 bet on the pot was suspicious. What did he want to represent with this bet size?
A strong hand would have tried to get money out of me with a 1/3 bet. His bet looked like he wanted to scare me out.

On the river he checked over to me, so I did not have much of a choice after my readings.

So am i reading right, or was it just a lucky punch?

You'd often see that bet size from me, and I'd be ahead of you in this spot about 75% of the time...

Well, if you think the bet sizing is suspicious, then by all means, continue.

It's just that the board hit his range pretty hard, and there aren't that many draws that didn't make second pair on the turn, imo.

No, that´s not the point. I´m questioning every decision I made to find out if I might fail on the long run. A single pot does not make a good poker player.

Since I made it to the river and after bets on every street by the villain, he decided to check to me. How do you read this move? I was sure I would lose to a pair if I just check.

If I check the river after c/r-ing the flop and betting the turn, then I'm most likely inducing a bluff, not giving up. That means I want you to bet, since I think I'm ahead, but I don't think you're calling with worse if I bet myself.

Had that been me, you would've lost the hand, and I use 2/3 as a turn bet-size often.

Of course, not everyone plays like me, so I'm not sure if betting out here is a long term winning play.
Actually, I don't see what's playing it this way other than a worse flush draw (KcJc, KcTc, Kc8c), and I'm probably calling with KcJc and KcTc (but I'm a showdown monkey).
