So today I came to a conclusion after looking over some of my past hands. I am way to passive when I hit a great hand. I have no problem bluffing the shit out of 2nl, but when it comes to c/r-c/sing my set, or some nut hand I am too afraid my opponent will fold and so I revert to betting small, or checking the flop and attempting to get more value hoping they hit a piece of a board on the turn. I think my pattern of inconsistency has been a really big leak thus far and I am going to try to fix that. I think the way to beat 2/5nl is just playing really straight forward and not getting too fancy. I have spent a lot of time researching metagame and discussing it and unfortunately I just don't think it applies to those microstakes as much. So, I look forward to being able to use it in the future.
Below I am going to post my hand of the day and take a crack at ranges, so I would love some feedback. Thanks!

Flop: I don't have much information on the villain unfortunately, besides everyone at my table was playing like pretty standard 2nl loose passive fish. Finally got my pt3 up today, but this hand was from yesterday. So, calling my raise pre flop could be a huge range of things, but after everyone checks the flop, I am thinking they did not hit any part of it. This is a situation I run into frequently, I immediately revert to the c/r option, although I am finding 2nl donks are more likely to be calling stations then bluff a lot and be aggressive. So I think in the future it may be better to bet here. This has happened to be so frequently that I feel like I am losing a lot of value by checking in these spots.
Turn: So I am bet here for value. I am guessing after the villain calls he has a lot of pocket pairs in his range, possibly an A5 type hand or even floating with Ax. There is a draw out now, and its possible the villain would call here hoping to hit it on the river.
River: When the Jd comes on the river it does complete a straight. However, I felt like there was a very small possibility even 9s10s would have played that way although it is still a possibility. So when I get shoved over by my short stacked opponent I feel like its a snap call (very +EV) being that only 1 hand is beating me right?

Let me know what you guys think about that. I hope my thought process made sense there, and I am more then open to suggestion.
