I might fold to the river bet but I'm weak/tight so what do I know

I'll assume this is at the 33s.

Bet the flop.

Not having bet the flop, bet more on the turn, then you can safely fold to a re-raise.

On the river, who knows. I have no idea where you are vs. villain at that point. I guess you have to call.

Bet the flop, but since you didn't, I think you have a pretty safe turn fold and an easy river fold.

Spot on.. I would probably bet K9 here as well. I'd do the check with K8 and below, except for K7 and K2 obviously.

Agree just about 100%

Results?

Check-raising the turn is a better line than calling his minraise. I like the flop check, but neither turn or river call this early.

Only hands I'd be worried about are 22, 77 and a tricky J10 or J10 clubs. AK raises preflop. KQ and KJ bet this flop almost always. KK and QQ raise preflop. QJ might be taking a stab, or AJ or Kx clubs. AQ is possible as well. Q7, K7, K2 and Q2 are not usually limping from UTG+1. You checked the flop and so he probably doesn't think you have a king here. I think you played the river well, losing the least when behind, winning the most when ahead. Although the river bet looks a lot like a value bet, there are plenty of second-best hands and semi-bluffs UTG+1 has here that you beat, and you only have to be right like 1/3 times to make the call CEV+, and you aren't crippled if you're wrong. NH.

UTG+1 has KQ and checked it for some reason on the flop?
