Hero is a pretty new player with less than 1k hands total.
The only read on Villain (from around 20 hands) was that he's on the tight side of average - at least for .02/.04 - and folded to a couple of cbets earlier.

Hero hasn't got a clue what's going on.
I've been talking myself in circles. The fact he checked flop made me think he'd probably fold to another cbet, so when he called I thought Qx was likely. The tiny bet on the turn didn't make sense, but I thought that by calling at least I'd have a basically free card for a chance at making a pair. The river brought that along, but him going all-in only made me think KQ or some other lower 2 pair like K5 after all (I don't know why JT would stay around after the flop), which doesn't explain the turn bet but then I can't think what does. Now I still don't know what's going on. Should I raise the turn, call or fold the river? Should I be cbetting less/more or even at all? Maybe I'm thinking too much for 5nl. Thoughts?
