Over-folding and Bluff-catching (Live 2/5)
6 hours in a session at a SF Bay Area card-room. 6 AM. Villain is a slightly tilted (still composed) thinking reg whom I recently bluffed in a peculiarly similar fashion (regarding the board texture and betting sequence) announces this is his last hand prior to cards being dealt.

Live 2/5 NLH, 700 eff. Behind 2 limps, I open to 30 from the CO with KsTd. BTN (who seemed slightly tilted), calls, and the BB calls.
Flop: (Kh 2s 8h).
Hero (CO) cbet to 35 (60% pot), BTN calls.
Turn: Kh 2s 8h (9c)
I consider betting 1/3 pot vs checking in this spot. I conclude that villain shouldnÂ’t have too many straight draws to realize free equity from (maybe some pure flop floats like JT/QT, somewhat negated by my T). I decide on a check for pot control. Not sure about this logic in retrospect.
Villain (BTN) bets $100. I call with the understanding that although he can have KQ and KJ, his wider BTN range will likely consist of some lower Kx holdings and heart draws which I unblock.
River: Kh 2s 8h 9c (9d)
I check and villain (BTN) over-bet shoves. I tank, particularly focusing on missed draws (particularly heard draws). I also considered how my Td interacted, and although I certainly wasnÂ’t ecstatic about holding any T variety here, I concluded that it wasnÂ’t too significant.
I call. BTN shows K9o.
I want to summarize this by saying I typically lean towards overfolding (especially to overbet river jams) in general in live low-stakes, as opposed to say, $50 NL online 6max. This was an exception.
However I wanted some thoughts here as this relatively run-of-the-mill hand is bothering me. I am also unsure of my thought process (everything I mentioned was via in-the-moment tanking).
I have a decent amount of experience with low-stakes online 6max and wouldnÂ’t bat an eye at this hand and would simply move on, but as I am transitioning to playing low-stakes live, there is a certain amount of ambiguity for me.
TDLR;
WWYD? Any feedback (especially hard truths) is immensely appreciated. I am seriously considering that my call is borderline (or outright) spew and that I should more-or-less default on folding (with few exceptions), not worrying too much about being exploited via bluffs here, given that this is live low-stakes.
