Was I too passive on the river? I din't want to get stacked if he was holding the queen or the same set with bigger kicker.

You do realise you have a full so the kicker isn't playing right?

I like how you played the hand. I'm not sure whether I prefer check-call or bet-? for the river though.

Sorry, but its a calling station hand. Who calls a flush draw on a two paired board?! I pretty muhc c/f turn.

I don't see a problem with this play, if you get raised you have to give it up, but you might get called down with some kind of pocket pair or even an ace or king here.

I don't see any problems here except the fact you said "same set better kicker".

Firstly a Set is when you hold a pocket pair, and get a 3rd on the board. Trips is when you hold one and two come on the board. But really what you need to make sure you see is that if he does hold A8 he doesn't beat you, you split.

Calling for a split is bad poker.

ur putting in 6 on the river to win a split of 8.50 or nothing at all. id say he has the q more than 50% of the time
