looks fine, but river you can bet slightly more, like 2.5bb or so. nothing more than half pot as his range is so weak here.

Fold in flop, our stack very small what call only with second pair badkicker, if he again bet small in turn, we get more good pot odds for call and we need again call, but after that we have already invested approximately 30% our stack and river we need shove with any cards,,, So better fold in flop,,
I'm sorry for my bad English, Well guess more or less understand the concept of fold. If there is a chance that you invest over 30% of your stack, better fold or shove. In your hand this fold..

Preflop fine
Flop fine
Turn: I would prefer to see you bet the turn; he could have led on the flop with a wide range of hands and your hand is fairly strong on this board now 2nd pair and a straight draw...don't want to give him a free Q or 7 to stack you with, plus now there is a flush draw out there....

If you had bet the turn and he called, then I'd check back this river as he could have easily been calling with a K or a better 9. As played, since you didn't bet the turn I think you can bet the river here, but you don't want to bet too much on the river since there is very little value to be extracted from worse hands here. maybe 2bb on the river is a good bet size. insta fold if you get raised on this river.

basically what WiZZiM and missjacki said. I think betting the turn for v and then checking back river is best.

Seems ok, although I'm inclined to bet turn rather than river.

Yes I would bet turn as well here and I might even shove pre seeing his gap in the stats.

I bet turn, we always have the best hand and we don't want to give him a free card to whatever nonsense he might have here.

River is a call obviously so well played overall, just bet turn though :)
