River bet sizing question

Given that this is NL2 Zoom and I have very little in the way of information.
When villain checks this river after betting the turn it makes the turn bet feel like a bluff and I am fairly confident the hand is mine.

My question here is, is there a bet size that would get called? Would a small bet here induce a call?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 31 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 2)
SB: 175.5 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 1)
BB: 182 BB
UTG: 102 BB
Hero (UTG+1): 141.5 BB
MP: 50 BB
MP+1: 224.5 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 2)
MP+2: 182.5 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 1)
CO: 101 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 33.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 3♥ 3♠

UTG raises to 3 BB, Hero calls 3 BB, MP calls 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold

Flop: (10.5 BB, 3 players) 3♣ 2♣ 2♦
UTG checks, Hero checks, MP checks

Turn: (10.5 BB, 3 players) 6♣
UTG bets 6 BB, Hero calls 6 BB, fold

River: (22.5 BB, 2 players) K♠
UTG checks, Hero bets 21.5 BB, fold

Hero wins 21.5 BB

You should start betting from flop.

The board is pretty scary so even if villain had Kx he wouldn't call pot size bet. I would bet 10bb here.

You can bet on the flop but is not necessary imo. It would generate a lot of folds and we do not have to protect our hand. We are multiway so giving one free card and hoping someone improves could be better.

There are cards that will kill the action,so it is better to start building the pot. We can charge FD, pairs, overcards, combos.

Thanks for your thoughts!

It's true I intentionally slow played the flop cause I expected a fold to a bet.
Charging the flush draw is an interesting thought, I was hoping they hit a flush and shoved.

If I was to do it over, I think I will use a small river bet that could be seen as a bluff. As to betting the flop. I'm still not 100%
