    Default $16 - 2 paired board, move

    How is this, especially the river?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (3 handed) by Hand Converter CG

    Button (t2400)
    SB (t2515)
    Hero (t8585)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 5d, Th.
    1 fold, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: (t450) 5c, Jh, Qc (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks.

    Turn: (t450) Qh (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks.

    River: (t450) Js (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets t7935 (All-In), SB left to act
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    HH seems weird, how can the BB be 600 but there is 450 in the pot?

    I would probably min bet the flop and then give up.

    River is interesting, he should fold K high, will he fold A high? I guess I like it better than a smaller bet. If we assume Q/J are not in his range and Kx and Ax are equally likely it seems like we have to make money doing this.

    This is how I would play it with your chip stack. Fire once...if he calls check the next two streets and fold to any big bet

    I min bet the flop... Although as you didnt I would min bet the turn.

    As played I dont understand your river shove. We most likely have the best hand with 10 high, and were only getting called by hands that beat us. I dont even know if we could get an A or K to fold.
    Why not just check it and take the pot?? Pushing is taking an unnecessary risk here.

    I make a more normal bet on either the flop or the turn rather than shoving the river. You save yourself losing a lot of chips in the (admittedly very unlikely) chance that opp slowplayed Qx on three streets or has some piece of the board and believes you're shoving a missed draw.

    I bet flop.
    3 handed opponent checks to me i bet this flop with 3 high.
    I give up if called with my pair of fives on the turn just like i would with 3 high.
