Ks,Js
Preflop:

UTG +1 Limps, 4 folds, Hero raises, everyone folds, UTG + 1 Calls,

Flop:
Qh, 3s, 4c
UTG+1 checks, Hero Bets, UTG + 1 Calls

Turn:
10h
UTG+1 checks, Hero Bets, UTG+1 Calls

River:
2c
UTG+1 checks, Hero Bets, UTG+1 Calls

Should I bet the river and hope to get an ace high to fold, or should I just check behind???? Should I even bother betting the turn when I can take a free card off heads up??? What do you guys think???

I would take the free card on the turn unless I knew that utg would peel one off on the flop with anything.

That is probably the right play, I can save an extra two BB here.

Why? If you get him to fold 1 in 3 times on the turn you show a profit, plus when you hit your draw on the river you get an extra bet. I'm a huge fan of betting with outs.

Check behind on the river.

Another valid point and good reasoning. The river bet is a waste though, you agree?

Pretty much.
