This is my first rotation at the table and this guys hasn't stood out.

I get QQ in MP and make it 16 Button and SB call

Flop comes 9c 6s 4s I pot it. SB calls

turn: 9c 6s 4s (Tc) I bet 2/3 the pot. SB calls

river 9c 6s 4s Tc (9d) SB checks, I check?

Is this totally standard? This is my first week playing nl so I don't have an automatic line in these spots.

We need stack sizes. I usually check here unless my stack is so short that it wouldnt make sense for him to go for a check/raise (i.e. pot sized bet left or less). If I only have a PSB or less, I push it in here.

I was assuming stacks were 400, so pot is about $210 and they each have $300 or so. I agree if hero only has like $200 left I push.

sorry i had 430 and he had 370 to start the hand.

He has exactly PSB left I think. I probably push the river. Hope he has JJ or a lower pair that doesn't believe you. He more likely has a draw that he will fold, but if he had a better hand that you then he would push the river here almost always.
