Re: KQ takes free card?
Hmm. This is tricky. I think AK (8 combos) and TT (6 combos) are Villain's most likely hands. AT (16 combos) should probably be thrown in there too, though, even if we should discount that somewhat because of the EP preflop raise. A hand like AJ (12 combos) is also possible. Villain could have raised the flop for a cheap showdown.
The river lead denies a free showdown. We'll get raised a fair amount of the time, though, and I think we need to call (I think the raise will be coming from AK often enough). Unfortunately, though, in addition to losing to rivered straights, we'll also sometimes discover Villain checked the turn because he made the nut flush and decided to slowplay.
Anyway, your play in the hand looks good to me.
