$3/$6 KQs - Call the river?

[butters]

I recently made the switch from Paradise to Party. Definitely a lot better game selection.

This table has been average - not exceptionally loose or aggressive. Usually 4 or 5 to a flop for one bet. Preflop raises have been getting respect. CO in this hand sat down a few hands ago and I don't have any history on him.

I would have just called from early position with KQs. From my experience raising preflop on 3/6 party doesn't drive people out (or maybe more correctly open-call knocks them out just as well). Then I would have check/folded with an Ace on the flop. You have 2nd pair with a very popular overpair on the board. It is too likely that somebody with an Ace is taking you as a sucker on the flop, and waiting until the limit goes to 6 to get more money out of you. This is just my opinion, I'd be interested if more people agree with your style. I have certainly played it your way before, but I found it to be unprofitable.

Call. Unless he had QT he probably doesn't have a T, he likely has AJ or KJ and you beat one of those.
