0.50/1 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.7 by www.pokerstrategy.cc.

Preflop: Hero is CO with K♣, A♥
2 folds, Hero raises to $3.50, BU calls $3.50, 2 folds.

Flop: ($8.50) J♦, J♣, K♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $6, BU calls $6.00.

Turn: ($20.50) 8♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, BU bets $14.50, Hero calls $14.50.

River: ($49.50) T♣ (2 players)
Hero checks, BU bets $35, Hero ???.

Final Pot: $119.50

Flopplay is standard I think, but should I have betted again on the turn for information? Also didn't quite now how to respond on the river. Maybe a blockbet?

Imo if you decided to check/call turn you should check/call river, cause he would be betting here a lot of K or busted straight draws. Don´t see point blockbetting river, cause he can turn it into bluff. Since you can´t represent anything that strong, what can play bet/shove or bet/call.

I often see on these forums that people (even moderators) "bet/raise for information". Whilst I'm sure this CAN be OK if you know your opponent very well, in most situations you clearly do not. I call this betting/raising "for misinfornation".

If villain is tight/straightforward and is unlikely to value-bet the river with a K then fold. If villain is aggressive/floaty then call as the line you took here is optimum (IMO) against such players (and AQ is unlikely after the PF action). If neither of the last two sentences helped then betting for information would have been wishful thinking since leading the turn would be more likely to help villain play his hand than you yours.

Think I b/f turn and c/c river.

I think c/c > b/f as you are often ahead. He is very aggressive and may bluff a lot in this spot. River is close, but I tend to call against his stats.
