2-5 NL. Sb has around $350 and I cover. He is rather weak passive.

I open for $25 in Mp with KQ and only villain in SB calls.

Flop comes K K 9 rainbow. Check Check.

Turn is a 3. SB thinks a little and bets out $50. This is out of character for him but I don't think the 3 hit him.
I call.

River is a Ten. SB bets out $100 and I...

push - you played it so weakly postflop it is possible he's making a play - your hand is good often enough

hell he may even be trying to 'slowplay' you on the flop w. a worse king

Is he tight as well as weak passive. Then its for sure a call.

If he's loose passive, i raise.

It looks like he has a K, what would he call your raise with in SB? Is he calling with KJ, KT???

Betting out pot on the turn was strange for this player, and I didn't think he'd call pre-flop with K6 or K7, so in my mind I am only ahead of KJ, maybe K8. I called and lost to 99. Normally I just bet the flop and stick it in.

This is why you shouldn't push. It sounds like this player won't have a hand worse than villains that they will call a push with.

Dont' even think about folding here. You'll get shown all kinds of stuff like AA or Q9.
