Preflop: Hero is SB with T J
UTG raises to $0.75, MP folds, CO calls $0.75, BTN calls $0.75, Hero calls $0.65, BB folds

Flop: ($3.25) Q 6 7 (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, CO checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($3.25) K (4 players)
Hero bets $2, UTG raises to $4.75, 2 folds, Hero calls $2.75

River: ($12.75) Q (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

MP- 33/24 over 441 hands, AF 2.5
CO- 20/16 over 256 hands, AF 3.7
BU- no reads

Turn: I'm not sure whether making the bet a tiny bit bigger would change anything as I doubt we get extra FE. As played I think river needs to be a bet. I expect Qx to bet but I suspect Kx checks back so in betting we get action from both

Hi legand73

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: This is a classic example of failed hand reading imo.

What can a PFR check back the flop with to raise the turn vs a bet on the Kx?

It really screams like a Kx or maybe a semibluff like AT/AJ (but doubtful). Another hand could be a rare QQ that kills the flop.

So looking at that river why would Kx ever bet? The guy will be so scare that he'll check his Kx 15 out of 10 times (if he can even do that).

So yes, bet the river, but don't bet too large.
