MP (t720)
CO (t1460)
Button (t2515)
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t930)</font>
BB (t1250)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls t30, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls t120.

Early, so no read on the fellow.

Flop: (t330) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t150</font>, UTG calls t150.

I figure he has a Q.

Turn: (t630) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks.

Even after his check, I fear the queen.

River: (t630) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks.

Final Pot: t630

Should I have bet the river here?

Most players would not turn check behind you with trip queens or better. His hand smells like AK or JJ/1010. I'd throw out a smallish value bet (100-150?) that he'd be likely to call given the odds the pot was giving him. If he raised that bet, you'd be in a tough spot, but could still fold, if you wanted, with 500 or so chips to play with.

nah i don't bet the river, but i probably bet 200 if not a hair more on the flop.
