€10 NLHE 6-max: Not sure if I played 2 pair correctly here?
Hey you guys remember telling me to learn about bankroll management instead of hitting NL5 tables with a bankroll of 20€? Today I hit NL10 with a bankroll of 10€. Let's get this out of the way. The reason I did that is because I want some time away from the tables while I focus on my school work and the end of the first semester that will last until mid-February (I know, it's not exactly intuitive). And I thought I could withdraw my 10€ at once. But the poker site didn't let me. Wire transfers apparently now start at 15€, which is new. So I got into an "all or nothing" mindset, and since I was playing with the other day's earnings, I didn't care. I know this is not profit in the long-term. I wasn't playing for the long-term. I only wanted to hit 15€, ended up hitting 36€, so... yeay. Here's the hand where I lost the most at once.

My question here is: that river bet. Was it bad? I didn't stop to think at the time for very long. I remember thinking I was beat. Any Q, any overpair on the flop, everything was calling here, and any bluff was folding to that bet. My plan was a bet/fold, but I'm wondering whether it would be better to check/call and catch all the bluffs. What do you guys think?
As a nice little bonus, the little hand that won me the night:

Thank you guys for reading, have an awesome 2020!!
EDIT: OH, btw. You will notice I check/raise a lot. Reason being I c-bet a lot of time, almost always, except on a very drawy board and multiway. My opponents knew this and they started floating me on the flop and betting turn to my checks, or betting flop if I checked. I was exploiting that to the best of knowledge by checking strong hands flop and then raising on the turn.
EDIT 2: My question is about the river portion of the first hand. I wrote "Turn" on the original post, but I meant river, I think my bet turn was good. Of course, any comments on any part of that hand are welcome!! I'm also pretty proud of that check on the rivered Ace in the second hand. 90% sure that check won me the hand. I think I went too far on the raise and any good player would have folded due to sizing, but I'm sure when she saw me check that Ace she though I didn't have it, and then made a crying call. I think she would have just called if I bet the ace. Idk though. Any opinions on that would be cool as well
