4-8 half kill hand

It's killed to 6-12. Half size blind structure, $3 to limp.


3 limpers to me 3 off the button, I call with QsJs. Button and blinds call. 7 see the flop.


Flop: Qh 10d 9h. Checked to the guy on my immediate right (IR) who bets, I raise, a local I respect in the SB cold calls, all others fold and IR calls.


Turn: 6c. SB bets (!), IR and I both call.


River: 8h. SB checks, IR checks, I check.


Thoughts?

You missed a bet on the river. Anybody with a heart flush would have bet the river. You should have used your positional advantage to put your two opponents on non-heart flush hands.


When the small blind bets the turn, he's got either 87 for a straight or an odd two-pair (Q6?). Either way, he should have check-raised the turn. He checked the river because he fears the heart flush or a stiff Jack. Either way, you've got him beat.


IR probably has top pair. He may even have Jack as well but feared you raised the flop with a four-flush and doesn't want to get raised.


Seems like a missed opportunity.
