On flop you are representing Kx, good kicker and flush draw. Turn is the same, if you jam here he will probably call because he is ahead of flush draws and Kx. You also represent sets that way but your stealing range is wide so its unlikely for villain to think you have it. If you jam river you are representing JT of clubs exactly. Based on villains blind defend, do you really think he is intelligent enough to put you on that exact hand and fold?

Op hand is fine. Cannot win every pot. Prolly just fold turn tbh. Though that depends on the site. I have no idea how most of the euro sites play.

I hate to be that guy again, but: If you're asking that question, you definitely shouldn't be playing 200NL. Start with a stake where it doesn't hurt you to loose 50BI and build a roll there.
There is not a single FTR success story that goes like: I have never played poker, but I took a shot at midstakes and here I am!
Not since 2005 at least.
There are however quite a lot that started with the lowest stakes possible.

All I'm seeing is a flat call with 7/2 OOP. Happy days, please collect $200 as you pass go.

This hand went south, so what?

if he's calling 72o in BB then I doubt you could dynamite him off this hand.
