Questions below.

$0.05 NL - Holdem - 8 players

UTG+1: 30 BB (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 2)
MP: 99.2 BB (VPIP: 20.69, PFR: 13.79, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 30)
MP+1: 27.6 BB (VPIP: 30.43, PFR: 4.35, 3Bet Preflop: 9.09, Hands: 23)
CO: 126 BB (VPIP: 10.81, PFR: 2.70, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 38)
BTN: 167.6 BB (VPIP: 28.95, PFR: 5.26, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 38)

Hero (BB): 100 BB
UTG: 136.4 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 28)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has J♦ Q♦

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 3 BB, Hero calls 2 BB

Flop: (6 BB, 2 players) 2♠ T♦ 9♦
SB bets 4 BB, Hero raises to 12 BB, SB calls 8 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

I thought that was a good hand to raise. Fd + oesd and sometimes my overcards could be good.
But I have no idea about villain's range. He is something between lagish and tagish for FR, I guess.

Turn: (30 BB, 2 players) 6♥
SB checks, Hero bets 19.2 BB, SB raises to 119.2 BB and is all-in, fold
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

Sometimes, I think I choose the worst spots to cbet my draws, whenever I decide to play them agressively :f_confused:
Should I simply check behind here, for a cheap river? Or cbet maybe less?

SB wins 65 BB

Pre you can mix up with 3bets, but QJs is good for both.
Raising flop IP looks fine to me. I always like to play the draws agressively but knowing what to do on future streets in case I hit and in case I don't hit. What did you had in mind?
You have a great hand to triple barrel bluff, blocking value combos of villains range.
I think sizes are ok. Another option would be min-raise flop, bet between 1/2 and 2/3 OTT and then overbet shove the river. The way you played it, it's going to be a PSB OTR.

I think you have to call the turn shove.
You have (100-3-12-19,2) = 65,8bb left.
SB has (134,2-3-12) = 119,2bb left.
His raise is to 85bb (what you have left before your turn bet) because he has you covered, so the pot would become 30+85*2 = 134.2bb

So you have to call 65.8 to win 134.2bb which 2:1 or 33% equity.
I think you have about that here with your monster draw.
I did some calculations on Equilab with and came up with this:

Board: Td9d2s6h
Equity Win Draw
SB 60.07% 60.07% 0.00% { 99+, 66, 22, AKs, ATs-A2s, KTs, QTs, JTs, T9s, ATo-A9o, J9o+, T9o }
BB 39.93% 39.93% 0.00% { QdJd }

I considered we could overplay overpairs and even have 66 (which I don't know because of the flop action), ATo and A9o with the diamond ace.

I would just 3bet PF
As played : I just call OTF - You have a monster draw and You can take advantage that You have position on him. I would raise when I would be OOP.
OTT bet/fold is very bad - If You dont want to bet/call OTT just check back - 6h is not a scary card for him

I would have called the flop. Like played: He called a 2 bet on the flop(strength) and checked to you on a turn, which brought an unimportant card. You should have checked here for getting a freecard.
I think that Villain knows about your high- aggressive level.
You are ip and would let him play against your whole range if you just would‘ve called the flop.
If you were oop your line(check- raise) would be more decent (protecting your checking- range)
