Called on this scary flop

SB in this hand was a decent player 25/8. Nothing special but I havn't seen him play anything really poorly.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
4 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB folds.

Turn: (4 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks???

With this scary flop and the SB calling my bet I didn't want to put myself in a position where I would be checkraised. I also planned on calling the inevitable river lead by the SB no matter what card came on the river. Of course raising if a ten came.

Thoughts, critisisms?

I play it the same.

while i often play it the same, looking at the post, i find my self asking "what can you beat"? there are Q'sand a J on the board, and any pair beats you. so which hands could he have called the raise with that you beat. as i said i usually play it like you diid, but in looking at it here, i am not sure how you win this enough to even call the river if no A,K, or T shows.

I think you should raise a river K and fold to a threebet.

KT/T9/AT/Ax etc. These are all hands that will likely call a bet on the flop which you beat, making it more than fine to call a river bet unless the guy is really passive. Note that against 22 - TT, another J is an out too.
