Only interested in river decision, given the action in the hand. Villain was reasonable and handn't been out of line. See below:

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Hero calls, 1 fold, BB checks.

Flop: (6.50 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (6 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 bets, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Hero raises, BB calls, UTG+1 3-bets, Hero caps, BB folds, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: (8.25 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, UTG+1 calls.

River: (10.25 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG+1 bets

If I choose to raise here, I must fold to a 3-bet, right?

You raise and HOPE he 3-bets so you can cap. ALOT more times than not you have the best hand here.

The action makes it look like the King helped villain's hand, but since you beat any hand the king helps except KK (and there was no pre-flop raise) you should be betting like mad on this river. I don't feel bad paying off set over set.
