I don't agree - I would put him on a king or a draw, but almost certainly not a queen. Again, he led out with a larger-than-pot-sized bet from early position; who does that with second pair? It wasn't a weak bet; if anything, at these stakes and considering the pot size ($1) it was an overbet. He's protecting something and it's not a queen. Unless he flopped a lucky two pair with Q3 (which could be - he is on the big blind here). I'd take my medicine and fold to a raise on the turn if that was the case. But I'm comfortable with my read here. 3 times out of 4, that guy has a king with a bad kicker. The rest of the time he has a goofy two pair and is the type to overbet that kind of hand, or he has a draw and likes to semi-bluff. But if he were that type of player, I think he'd call me on the turn. I still say he had a king with some worthless second card. And I take back my earlier claim that he had KJ or KT - I forgot he was on the blind. He had Kx, where x is any card that isn't a 3.

I'm not saying it's 100% that he had Kx, but that's how I would read this hand usually, and I'm right often enough that this play is profitable for me. I wouldn't make it without the luxury of a flush draw in my back pocket, but I was perfectly comfortable doing it here.
