Default Is this a good line for tptk?

Still trying to learn how to keep the pot down so i dont put my stack behind tp. Ive heard that was the number 1 mistake novices like me make.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) converter

BB ($30.85)
UTG ($22.50)
Hero ($25.35)
MP1 ($94.95)
MP2 ($24.60)
MP3 ($26.45)
CO ($23.45)
Button ($12.55)
SB ($24.25)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">7 folds</font>, UTG calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.35) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.5</font>, UTG calls $1.50.

Turn: ($5.35) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero checks.

River: ($5.35) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $2</font>, Hero calls $2.

Final Pot: $9.35

I bet the turn because there are two hearts and two spades on the board. Maybe 75% of pot. Dump to a raise.

if the board is rainbow I play it like you did, perhaps raise the river some % of the time.

This is my standard play, except that I bet close to the pot on the flop. But that isn't that significant.

What about if he bets more on the river. Say pot size or even larger. Thats a clear fold right?

With no reason to believe that I'm beat, I instacall up to a PSB. You induced a possible bluff. Thus, you have to call up to a PSB IMO. If a draw seems to hit, then you have to use some judgement.

Given the board, this seems like a good line to take. Do you value bet if the river is a brick?

What hand will call the raise that doesn't have you beat?
