Would anyone say I missed a bet here? Usually I'm not this timid and I've really been working on getting in the most value bets I can on the river, but here I felt I was only getting called by a better hand....input appreciated.

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has 4h Ah (high card, ace).
Hero has Qh Qs (one pair, queens).
Outcome: Hero wins 6.25 BB. </font>

I know this isn't that big of a mistake or a big hand, but I'd just like to know what others think of situations like this and how they handle them. I know SSHE is telling me to bet this river, but I can't :O

Standard check, or playing scared?

This is read dependent I think. If he's a calling station, it's a value bet on the idea he would call down with as little as bottom pair. If he's solid I would have him folding all weaker hands in which case checking is fine.

I think it looks like a weak king and would just check behind him, but on the other hand I'm a professional in missing river value bets. He might have been playing the flushdraw or another draw. If he hits he'll checkraise you and if he missed he will fold. There's not many reasonable calling down hands in this situation that you beat. Really wanna check here. Will be intressting to hear from others.

These aren't the stats you should be looking at for a river decision. Look at folded to river bet and won $ at showdown calling (both found on the same page as the agression stats). If the first is high and the second is low, then check behind.
