I open raise 2 off the button with QsKh, SB and BB call.
*** FLOP *** : [ Kd 4s Qh ]
SB bets, BB folds, I call.
*** TURN *** : [ Kd 4s Qh ] [ Ks ]
SB bets, I call.
*** RIVER *** : [ Kd 4s Qh Ks ] [ 8h ]
SB bets, I raise, SB folds.

Is there a place to raise here?, think I would have made the same or less.

Against most opponents, I think I would raise the turn. Then again, I wouldn't expect to get the river bet either. I'm glad you got the extra bet, but there are many draws that can call on the turn that can't on the river.

You could raise the turn but if he folds there you don't pick up the extra bet on the river. I would raise the turn if the K didn't pair, since he'll usually give up on the river and just check, but then he'd most likely to call so you'd make the same. I like the play.
