$0.1/$0.2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG1 with K:c, Q:c.
UTG calls, Hero raises, UTG2 calls, 5 folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls.

Flop: (9 SB) K:d, 8:h, Q:h (4 players)
SB checks, UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG2 3-Bets, SB folds, UTG calls, Hero caps, UTG2 calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (10.5 BB) 8:c (3 players)
UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG2 calls, UTG calls.

River: (16.5 BB) J:c (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, UTG2 raises, UTG calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 22.5 BB.

KQs is a UTG1 raise PFR. Hit top two pair on flop, so I cap. I still have initiative and a strong hand on the turn so I raise again. On the river, I may not potentially have the best hand so I call the raise.

He donks the turn into two players after you capped the flop. This is almost always an 8 in my opinion. I would just call down from the turn unless you have a special read a la "donks turn with draws". As played river bet/calling the river is fine, you want value from Kx but can't fold to a raise, it could be KJ or QJ.

i disagree with your taavi. i thinkg donk out the flop on that board and call a 3bet is a very uncommon line with an 8, except he may have played Q8 that way and he felt being beat after raise and 3bet on the flop and thus he didn't go further with a cap. you play microlimits with a huge of unreasonable players sitting at the table and since his line with an 8 is very unusual, i would rather put him on a draw or on KT KJ AK. and protection becomes more important in a big pot. i would have raised the turn again and river is for sure a bet/call.
