Hero (SB): $26.05 (104.2 bb)
BB: $29.55 (118.2 bb)
UTG: $22.36 (89.4 bb)
MP: $25.25 (101 bb)
CO: $25.99 (104 bb)
BTN: $31.72 (126.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q♣: T♣:
3 folds, BTN raises to $0.75, Hero raises to $2.50, BB folds, BTN calls $1.75

Flop: ($5.25) 4♦: 9♣: K♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $2.60, BTN calls $2.60

Turn: ($10.45) 8♣: (2 players)
Hero bets $5.10, BTN calls $5.10

River: ($20.65) 2♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $15.85

Preflop: BTN plays 19/19 in 27 hands. Looks like a reg. I'm playing mixed strategy with QTs. Decided to 3bet this time.

Flop: K hits his range, but I have a gutshot + BDFD, so decided to cbet. I probably has some fold equity too. Hand is too weak to check/call imo.

Turn: Hit a flushdraw, but not sure do I have any fold equity on this card. I guess QQ-TT might fold from time to time, but I don't expect it to be very often. At that point I knew that if I cbet, would have to bluff shove blank rivers to try to take him off one pair hands.

River: He looks capped OTT to hands like AK, KQ, QQ, but the question is could he fold those to 3barrels. He certainly should vs unknown imo. Anyway, as planned OTT, I decided to shove.

Is this overplayed?

Looks good to me. OTT you improve so you can bet again and you probably still have some fold equity. If you check you would probably call there and when you would call I prefer betting myself. Also that way you might get the most value when you hit and if river is a blank you have a decent 3barrel bluff. Villains range is very likely weaker than what you are repping here so I think you played this well.

I think that i like how is played, i guess that the majority of the players will fold KQ KJ KT here. I like more QJ cause im blocking QK KJ which may be more ofhis caling range PRE. may call only KTs pre.

Also blocking TT is not that good than blocking JJ QQ which majority of the time will not have in his river range as played( will stack off PRE).

U said that he might have Ak which i dont think that u will see there pretty often. And if i know that he will have Ak there i realy dont like the shove.

Perfectly played pre-flop, 3bet from the SB with QTs against a BTN open. Continuation bet is perfect size, you catch a nice flush draw on the turn and here I would bet 2/3 of pot, still half pot looks strong.

River barrel I am not so sure it is the best play, but surely your shove will be tough to bluff catch, unless he is such a good reg that he puts you on a bluff because of busted draws and the size of the bet.

Why don't you just play your hand according to odds? I bet he had a K there and got you. :)

No, he folded, but I felt like the hand was overplayed a bit. I would also fold TP and worse in his shoes, though. So, you recommend to check/fold the flop? If we just play according to odds, we can't (semi) bluff and the hand is too weak to check/call (we don't have odds to call).

If your comment was about the turn, which cards would you barrel then?
