Crazy board...did I play right

I got this hand yesterday and have been wondering about it.

I had K J suited on the button about 8 people see the flop.

flop: Q K Q

A bet from middle (I figured he had a queen or a king)

I call, it's just me and him.

K comes on the turn (Q,K,Q,K)

He checks, I bet, He calls

Q at the river. The board is now Q,K,Q,K,Q

He bets. Do I call, raise, or fold? I folded, but I can't help thining that I may have gotten married to the idea he had a queen and should have raised or called. This was .5/1 so the pot was around $11. Any comments?

Comments? Yeah.
NO WAY IN HELL YOU FOLD THE RIVER FOR ONE BET.

It's call or raise time. Only the case Queen beats you. Is he capable of betting the flopped trips and checking when he thinks you've outdrawn him with a K?
You may get a call from anything on the river when you raise (playing the board). So plenty of worse (nothing) hands can call.
One card that beats you. One card that splits. EVERY other card you beat...

I'd way rather raise than fold. The fold was crazy man...

An awful fold in my opinon. You split with the other king or you lose to a queen, he is just a likely to have the king as a queen so it is a 50:50 shot, and he might have nothing.

Raise preflop after all those limpers. Your big suited cards in the best position love it.

On the river, raising is a lot worse than calling, because you will get re-popped by a Q and have to call. Despite your play, nobody is folding a K here.

Nobody ever got rich making big folds on the river.
