Not saying you are going to beat all the calls, I would just expect to beat the majority of the calls, or at least a good portion of them.

That Pok, is an easy check. Probably looking at a weak King or such that didn't like to fold. But A little Hx on the guy may help too.

Check.

Best case, you win a slightly above average pot. Worse case, you lose a slightly above average pot by getting outdrawn. you have second pair. Your raise has no value when you factor what Villian can have. He's not folding a mediocre King and you're getting raised my a diamond flush.

And he folds to you bet if you choose to do so. You check and he looks like a dick to the whole table.

i dont like the raise on the flop either... it looks like you are overvaluing pocket jacks... remember JJ is still considered a medium pocket pair, just like QQ

So what, now you think you made an error by not value betting the river? Making the best move in poker is not always making the most profitable move! Sometimes the best move is preserving your stack when you're not sure your ahead and may well be behind but the price is right to go to sd! Here the price was 0 or 1 lost value bet. Worst case, you bet, he re-raises bluffing a flush and you fold!
The donk was calling all the way with an overcard and a flush draw on the board and the flush was made possible on the river!! Even if you play according to the Theroy of Poker, it would have been a mistake to ignore the board and previous calling actions of the donk! A check-thru here is absolutely correct - imo!

Besides for the loss of one bet (had he called) you got to look at his hole cards! That has to be worth a (lost) big bet at least!

Agree with the others you played the hand very well, no point betting the river here. He'll most likely fold hands that you beat and he wont call unless he'll generally win.

What hands would he raise the flop and then turtle with?

Diamond draws, straight draws,a small K, PP smaller than JJ, or maybe A6 or A3 with a backdoor draw. Of those hands 1 hit, and you'll get checkraised costing you 2 bets, straight draw folds winning you nothing, small king calls costing you 1 bet, PPs 99 or TT may be trying to checkraise you, 44, 77 and 88 may call 1/2 the time as would A3 or A6.

You need a pretty decent read to Value bet here with JJ.
