Preflop
Why are you opening to 4BB? Is this your standard sizing, and what idea is behind that? A large sizing can work, when people call to much and dont 3-bet enough. But its a little outdated in online cash games, and when you move up, you are going to have to "unlearn" it again. So I kind of question, how valuable it is to spend time developing a 4BB open sizing strategy specifically for 2NL? Or maybe even specifically for this table? Also KJ UTG is not exactly a monster, so I assume, you are not using different opening sizes here? Because in that case it would not make sense to size up with this hand in particular.

Flop
For a 4-way pot your bet is a bit on the large size, but I dont think, this is as big an issue as your preflop sizing.

Turn
Q9 got there, but 8d is still a relatively safe card, so I would also bet again.

River
The opponent only has around a 75% pot sized bet left, so if you are going to bet, it pretty much has to be a jam. Which mean, you are then putting in almost a full stack with just top pair second kicker. That is kind of iffy, so I can understand, why you checked back and took the free showdown. But at the same time when you have a hand this strong and hit a very clean runout but still feel, you cant bet the river for value, then something has gone wrong. And what is wrong here is, that you put in to much money with your sizing preflop and on the flop.
