Raise the flop IMO. Board's wet, its pretty easy for villain to put us on a flush draw here. Also, a big gap in the VPIP/PFR usually indicates that our opponent isn't very good, so we can expect to stack KQ/QJ here. Plus AK/KJ/AJ have some equity that we'd like to charge. I pump up the flop to $4.

Board: Qs Ts 3d
54.1% { AdQc }
45.9% { QQ+, TT, 33, AQs+, AsJs, KJs+, QJs, 9s8s, AQo+, KJo+, QJo }

River value bet is pretty close, but I think I'm leaning towards a check here. Villain can pretty easily put us on a missed draw, and be checking to us with a lot of hands like Kx/AA. And KJ/AK may check for pot control, since its not the greatest board to get stacks in.

Flop raise seems awful. River bet like $2.

Raising flop is fine, Tx/JJ don't fold either. I think it can be a bit thin wihtout a read that villian is kind of sloppy and likes to flat most of his draws; my standard vs most regs is just flatting.

As played, +1 to a thin vbet.
