Default Did I misplay this hand?

Hi all,

I think these hands are very difficult to get away from, so did I lose the minimum? Comments please...

Villian is 37 (VPIP) / 10 (PFR). Seems somewhat sensible.
.
Seat 1: Hero ($174.75 in chips)
Seat 2: yakuza ($261.66 in chips)
Seat 3: Problem ($274.50 in chips)
Seat 4: Villian($262 in chips)
Seat 5: tc34 ($133 in chips)
Seat 6: Bad__IP2 ($91.63 in chips)
Problem: posts small blind $1.50
Villian: posts big blind $3
----- HOLE CARDS -----

Down to five handed. I raise on the CO with QTo. Too loose? Table seemed somewhat sensible, not too tight, not too loose.

dealt to Hero [Qs Tc]
tc34: folds
Hero: raises $6
yakuza: calls $6
Problem: folds
Vilian: calls $3
----- FLOP ----- [6d Qc 2h]

Villian indicates TP or better, so what do I do here? Do I go for the cheap showdown, or do I make the laydown. Or do I 3- bet?

Villian: checks
Hero: bets $3
yakuza: calls $3
Villian: raises $6
Hero: raises $6
yakuza: folds
Villian: calls $3
----- TURN ----- [6d Qc 2h][Jd]
yakuza leaves the table
Villian: checks
Hero: bets $6
Villian: calls $6
----- RIVER ----- [6d Qc 2h Jd][3c]
Villian: checks
Hero: checks

River check ok?

Ok, the question is this, should I be thinking about folding this hand after the flop raise, calling down, or making the laydown. Villian was far from being a LAG. I would have expected more action from Villian if he had QJ, he would have 3-bet (would he?) with AQ... so that leaves KQ...

What's the best line to take?

Cheers!

Steve Griff

Flop seems good to me. You really have to put two to the donk in the middle. I would bet the river. I think he'd puts more bets in with a hand that beats you. Like a flop cap or a turn CR.

Usually he will bet a better queen here, when you check to him, so you gotta bet yourself. Don't give him the opportunity to valuebet his good hands and check behind with his worse.

Does that mean I should have gritted my teeth and bet the river too?
