PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $2.34 (117 bb)
MP: $2.20 (110 bb)
CO: $3.19 (160 bb)
BU: $2.28 (114 bb)
SB (Hero): $2.03 (102 bb)
BB: $1.52 (76 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is SB with K K
2 players fold, CO raises to $0.05, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets to $0.20, 1 fold, CO calls $0.15

Flop: ($0.42) 5 Q J (2 players)
Hero bets $0.24, CO raises to $0.48, Hero calls $0.24

Turn: ($1.38) A (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.44, Hero calls $0.44

River: ($2.26) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

I think I do have to call the flop.
On the turn, I don't know why I've called, because now basically every worse hand he had on the flop hits...
I have to assume he will also barrel on the river, on which I have to fold anyway.

Any other thoughts?

I can see a lot of AQ/J, KQ/J/T, TQ/J (although you block the K ones) and other marginal hands raising you on the flop. I don't know if I wouldn't push OTF, to protect agaisnt FD.
Turn is a messy card and your hand is pretty dead, as you loose to almost everything he could've raised you with. So, yep, a fold.
As played, think you were lucky villain gave you a "free showdown" and you could take note.

Turn is a fold most of the time and based on reads and/or stats you can decide if shoving is a reasonable option with the over pair.

Hello,

On the flop you can finish AI because you are ahead of TP and draws. Although the FDs to the A have enough equity with a push you leave him with a difficult decision.

As you play it, the turn improves much of the range that you were dominating. It's a fold.

The min raise smells like a draw.
As the draws complete on turn, I would fold.
