Default Hand from villian\'s perspective (Reshef)

Villian is Reshef, one the most successful 10/20 players on stars.

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB :#A500AF(Reshef )/ calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (9.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Reshef checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Reshef raises</font>, UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Reshef caps</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (9.75 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Reshef bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: (11.75 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Reshef bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 13.75 BB

Results:
Reshef has Kd 6d (flush, king high).
Hero has Qs Qh (three of a kind, queens).
Outcome: Reshef wins 13.75 BB.

I personally think this is awful, and I always thought capping flush draws OOP was just a fishy move. But Reshef I know has been very successful in 10/20, and when I commented in the chat:

Me: what was that? Trying to shut out the third player?
Reshef: obv, over played poker before?


Am I on crack or is his play horrendous? He's shutting out a player when he has only K hi, and then when he hits his flush I shut down with top set. Seems terrible to me :/
