too passive with KQ?

SB is LPP over < 30 hands (68/0/.65), not much of a read really

I wanted to wait for a safe turn card to raise, but the turn card was anything but safe. Do I still raise in this situation?

I tend to agree. I hate the A on the turn everytime it happens to me, but it seems that in these situation you never really no what SB called with. Is it really possible to be certain what a "safe" turn card is here?

I'm seeing a lot of these lately. An A on the turn is one of my favourite cards to drop. Especially when I'm playing against weak tighties. It's a guaranteed money earner.

I raise the flop and bet that turn.

FLOP: Raise it.

TURN: I don't know what to tell you. If you raised the flop and then SB bet out the Ace on the turn, I'd say it's OK to fold.

Like you played it, it's fine IMO.
I would have raised the flop though.
