This was a somewhat passive table, and prone to fold around to any PF raises, which is why I opened with KQs from where I did.

The only conceivable reason I can see to bet so little on the river is to induce a bluff (I don't think this ever works at .10/.25).
You bet less on the river then on the turn, I'd probably just put him all-in, as it turned out, 3bet it
And raising the flop would be good too.
EDIT: I just realized your stack is smaller than his [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] easy push on the river then, and rebuy next time.
