Turn: bet higher?
River: bet/fold to get value from Qx? By checking, I'm inducing an OESD and FD bluff but failing to value bet Qx.

Hi Tosh5457,
It is a matter of style -- your turn bet sizing is just about perfect IMHO -- but I'd like to see what others think here.

There is a danger in getting greedy -- they may just fold their worse hands.
A hand -- not matter how strong -- has no value at all unless another player is willing to call with worse.

Cheers,
VS

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!

Overall seems ok. This is a spot of mixed frequencies on every street imo.
I think flop is not a mandatory cbet. Facing a check/raise here is nasty.
You don't need to deny so much equity holding the K♣:, so this plays well as a range protection check back. You have QQ, JJ, AQ, QJ that make better cbets (block less draws from him). Cbet is obviously ok though. You can go smaller imo.

Turn I'd bet small again or check. I don't think there's need to bet big in this spot. Remember they both called OTF, so that should mean something. You can still can a check/raise.

I think triple barreling is an overplay, so river check is ok. He may still call you with AQ. You block KQ (which is not good), but overall is thin.
