PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP ($57.90)
Hero ($82.75)
SB ($62.70)
BB ($11.00)
UTG ($15.75)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, Q.
2 folds, Hero raises to $2, SB calls $1.75, 1 fold.

Flop: ($4.50) 3, Q, T (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3, SB calls $3.

Turn: ($10.50) 9 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $5, SB calls $5.

River: ($20.50) 6 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $14, SB calls $14.

Final Pot: $48.50

Results in white below:
Hero has Ks Qs (one pair, queens).
SB has Ts Th (three of a kind, tens).
Outcome: SB wins $48.50.


Should I slow down here and just check behind on river? I put him on a weaker queen, that's why I bet out big hoping for a bad call from him, I've been playing pretty loose and cont bet almost all flops in position. Was really surprised seeing what he had.

Looks fine. I guess you could go for $10 on the river, but whatever. He's a moron for not reraising the river (even a min-raise). Just think how many times you do this and they show down Q8 or J9.

Yeah, I was real surprised he show no aggression at all, just calling down. I could have maybe made the bet smaller, but several of the players here do call bets like that on river even with midpair.
