UTG - Folds

#3 - Raises to 80c (has been very aggressive)
#4 - Folds
#5 - Folds
#6 - Calls
Me (with Kd-10d) - Call
Blinds - Fold.
You have position, and have a decent hand. Good so far.

I might raise here actually. You can find out if someone has hit a queen, or at least a good king. Your kicker is not that strong, and I'd probably try to win it right here.

An important thing to note is that if someone hits trips on the flop, and there are no obvious flush/straight draws, most people will not bet. They will check that flop, even weak players will realize they need to keep others in the pot and try to build it, and generally they will follow this advice 8/10 times I've noticed. So his bet actually makes me think he doesn't have that queen and I'd put that lower down on the possible hands he could have.

He keeps betting, he has something. Raise him. If he had a queen, you have him beat. If he has that last king, you are going to pay him off anyway. So get your money in, and likely he will call you if he has a queen (but I don't think he has a queen, that bet on the flop leads me to believe that pretty strongly).

River Qs.

What would you do in this case? Could/should I have raised the turn bet?
Go all in. No doubt. I highly doubt he has a queen, and if he has a king with a better kicker you'll split the pot since the kicker is now irrelevant. If he does have a queen, well he hid it well and you can't really do much about quads.
