SB: $19.02 (190.2 bb)
BB: $14.45 (144.5 bb)
UTG+1: $10 (100 bb)
UTG+2: $14.55 (145.5 bb)
Hero (MP1): $10 (100 bb)
MP2: $4.75 (47.5 bb)
MP3: $10.79 (107.9 bb)
CO: $7.32 (73.2 bb)
BTN: $14.16 (141.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K Q
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.30, 3 folds, BTN calls $0.30, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.75) 4 2 Q (2 players)
Hero bets $0.36, BTN calls $0.36

Bet for value. Villain is 19/9 so fairly passive player. I make the bet small to keep in mid pocket pairs.

Turn: ($1.47) K (2 players)
Hero bets $1, BTN raises to $2, Hero calls $1

We pick up 2 pairs, and now are ahead of AQ and AK as well as AA. Bet for value again. When he min-reraises, I think we are too strong not to call $1 and re-evaluate the river.

River: ($5.47) 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $2.65, BTN raises to $11.50 and is all-in, Hero folds

I make a half pot sized bet to get value from AQ, AK and any other hand the fish deems worthy. However, after a shove, I believe he has a set here almost all the time. Is this fold too weak? Villain is a 19/8 player roughly over 100+ hands.

Results:

Spoiler

$10.77 pot ($0.48 rake)
Final Board: 4 2 Q K 4
Hero mucked K Q and lost (-$5.31 net)
BTN mucked and won $10.29 ($4.98 net)

Not sure if my line is correct, I'm looking for some advice here. Otherwise, I feel as if my game is coming along nicely, almost ready to move up limits! :)

bet bigger on the flop.

Tricky spot OTR, but I believe that his mini raise on the turn shows just too much strength for you to be leading here.

Just check and call depending on the sizing, It is hard for you to be extracting value from worse in that situation.

Obs: AQ wouldnt have mini raised the turn.

I think river is clear c/c
If player is passive, his turn raise range is often sets, KQ, sometimes bluffs. River does not change it too much, besides making 44 less likely.
Since he is not going to raise you with KJ that he might check back river, then you´re most likely against boats, KQ or bluffs. Against that range I would prefer taking c/c line and going for showdown.

Best regards,

If you call the turn raise you should not lead the river. Let him bet and then call.
In fact on some turn minraises I have seen FDs.
