should i value bet this on the end, or just check for fear of being reraised? also, were my bet amounts correct on the flop and turn?

bet sizes are fine, on the river take him to value town. NH

ya i maybe go 225-250 pf that way i can shove turn. easy river shove though.

Your bet sizes are decent, but I think making them a bit larger on preflop and on the flop you'll have a better chance of stacking him on the turn/river. I would value bet the river, not a lot of 3.4 players are going to check raise the river with a made hand, check raising the river is rare at most lower levels IMO so you're almost certainly best. On the other hand I think that he'll call most bets with a naked queen.

so what would you do, 250 pf, 500 flop, then shove the turn?

I would probably bet 700 on the turn, but I think the 500 might be better.

Throw in 1000 on the river. I'm guessing the K killed your action from Qx. Bet at least 700 on the turn, you could probably shove and still get called. Villain likes his hand he check/called your decent flop bet. A bigger turn bet will make it easier for a shove on the river to get called.

I bet about 700 on turn. When I have an hand and I think a crappy player likes his hand I try and make him pay more to stay in. I probably bet about 1000 or so on river, maybe more.
