I think he has Tx here a

I think he has Tx here a lot.
Something like JxTx which he would have limped and called a 3x with, flat cbet on the flop w 2nd pair then when improved to trips on the turn flatted in position and give you room to hang yourself on the river. When checked to he figures he has trips and you might pay him off with so little money behind.
 
When you 3x his limp and he flats your cbet I think you should slow down on the T turn. 
What is he flatting the flop with and then folding to a turn barrel when the board pairs the card which hits his flop call cbet range the hardest? 
 
For villain to have a bluff on the river you have to believe that he will float with air 2 streets (or a passively played FD) and then bomb the river when checked to. 
=> I'm not giving micro stakes population credit for being this creative.
=> He almost always has Tx on the river.
=> Your 2barrel on the turn did not adequately plan for pot committment => you left so little money behind for the river that you felt obliged to call off unimproved against a range which has virtually no bluffs in it.
 
Underbetting the flop here can be quite effective with both your value and your bluffs => analogous to under cbetting in 3b pots.

That's why I posted the hand.

That's why I posted the hand. In the end he showed up Q9 for a gutshot, and during the hand I actually played the way I did thinking he had a draw (FD mostly). The fact that I was right in that particular case has little value thought as I'm more curious if the play was good overall.
Thanks for your analysis!

Well I guess against players

Against players that will c/c 2 streets then bluff the river vs a pot committed opponent with a missed gutshot I guess you can barrel A high for value.
:S
But that's being results oriented..
