Default Am I missing out here?

It seems that this stiuation comes up alot, and it just seems like im missing out on bets here. But I also don't want to be spewing chips when a bunch of draws get there.. So is the turn check customary, or should I continue to lead?


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) converter

UTG+1 ($61.85)
MP1 ($31.15)
MP2 ($51.65)
CO ($7.95)
Button ($18.75)
Hero ($50.30)
BB ($5.90)
UTG ($24.70)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls $0.50, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $3.5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $3, Button folds.

Flop: ($8) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $6</font>, UTG+1 calls $6.

Turn: ($20) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks.

River: ($20) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2.5</font>, UTG+1 calls $2.50.

Final Pot: $25

Results:
UTG+1 has Ts Ah (one pair, tens).
Hero has Qc Qs (one pair, queens).
Outcome: Hero wins $25.

That river bet makes no sense. I play the first two strees the same way and bet about half the pot here and fold to a big RR.

i prefer to bet this turn, so as to not let one card flushes suck out on me for free. also, if u r going to bet, dont ever bet 1/8 of the pot...

If he calls the turn, Ill c/c the river depending on the bet size.

You are not missing out here. Discretion is the better part of valor. Your bet on the flop was solid. With a 4 crd straight on the turn, combined with a 3 card flush, just how much can you still like your queens. You need feedback from your opponent, and all he's done is call.
I'd do my best to just limp it home from here.
Fold to large bets on the river, most of which will not be bluffs.
