SB was a calling station, loved his draws. BB, didn't have any reads on.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) converter

UTG ($20.95)
UTG+1 ($22.6)
MP1 ($32.85)
MP2 ($38.75)
Hero ($73)
CO ($21.5)
Button ($25.62)
SB ($34.72)
BB ($13.3)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A, Q. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
4 folds, Hero raises to $1.5, 2 folds, SB (poster) calls $1.40, BB calls $1.25.

Flop: ($4.50) 4, T, Q (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $3, SB calls $3, BB calls $3.

Turn: ($13.50) 9 (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $9, SB calls $9, BB folds.

River: ($31.50) 8 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: $31.50

Results in white below:
Hero has As Qs (one pair, queens).
SB has Kh 9h (one pair, nines).
Outcome: Hero wins $31.50.

Great looking flop for me, other than the straight draws. After the 9 came down on the turn, I didn't really like it at all, so I thought I'd push a little harder to see if I could either get a raise (he's probably got it, or making a convincing bluff) or a fold. After the call, I wasn't sure whether he had it, or was still going on his draw. I didn't like the river card ever more than I didn't like the turn, so I thought I'd check it down, just in case he was going to check-raise me.

I would probably bet around 2/3 pot on the river. I would figure my hand to be good, very unlikely you will get slowplayed on the river in my eyes for this hand.

What would you have done if the turn would have been minraised?

 i like the way you did it. I would've bet 4 on the flop and then 12-15 on the turn, then checked the river, but maybe i'm a wimp I just find if i have tptk on the river i'm usually not in a situation I like, i'd rather they call the flop and fold the turn, so I usually check the river. I just hate getting destacked with one pair, which would've happened here if you bet the river and were wrong.

Dwarf - a river bet of 2/3 of the pot would have been 3/4 of the SB's stack, shouldn't I just push him in if I'm going to do that? I assume you'd be betting the pot for value on this one, not to get info.

Greedo - Yeah, I've gotten burned a lot with TPTK on rivers like this.
