No. The turn raise/check behind is a staple of limit hold em. If he calls the turn raise, a river bet is often spewing unimproved. Often worse hands will fold, and you are only called when behind. I actually like a call turn, call/bet river here. You are often WA/WB. 3 betting the flop is another good option.

Which opponents are these? aprroximately everyone at 5/10 6max? When you 3 bet, you define your hand and allow them to get away from a weak hand. When they have a flush, you get capped. It is a win 1(maybe) lose 2(often) situation. A 3 bet is spewing even if your opponent usually doesn't have the flush.

You need to move away from results oriented thinking. KJ is weak, but not weak enough to fold in a shorthanded game. A raise protects your hand and increases your chances of taking down the pot. This hand was well played, but I almost like a donkbet on the turn. MP could have a wide range that you beat like AT, QJ... even something like K9.
Then check/call the river.

If he'll bet hands that you beat, you'll get more by check/calling the turn and check-raising the river. Unless he will 3 bet hands that you beat, your goal is to make the most, right? why do we want to try to bet him out of the pot?

K high on the river completes spewing there bro... I fold for two on the flop so that's 1bb, you lost 4 more bb after that so you lost 5bb when you didn't need to IMO...

He's not repping an ace. He has a broadway straight. It is hard to "spew" with the nut straight, even on a paired board.
If you really fold this flop for 1bb getting almost 5 to 1 you have a serious leak.
If you don't call a raise with KQ in the BB you have another serious leak.
Good Luck.
