I definitely think that betting out in that spot is fine as well.
If you get check/raised, u can then safely fold or maybe call another street and see what the villain will do from there on.
Obviously I didn't put him on KK because of his smooth call preflop.
By the river, my hand was simply a bluff catcher (mainly of KQ and KJ which are lone 1 pairs). However, given the fact he just flat called preflop K T , 9 T, J Q, or a set are definitely in his range.
I also think that his river bet was the perfect price for me to call it sort of looked like a "scared" value bet of KQ or KJ for some reason.
Had the villain mashed the pot button or shoved on the river I would have instantly folded but for some reason I didn't stick with my intial read and decided to turn my hand into a bluff catcher instead -- oh well.
In retrospect, I actually agree with you that I should have lead out on that flop but at the time while making the video, I didn't want to get check raised and get myself into a bad situation which I ended up getting in anyways...
