Value betting top pair and strongish kicker

edited February 2011 in The Poker Clinic
Hi

I played a hand where i had kq on the button. I called and then then small blind raised 3/4X. I called everyone else folded.

THe flop comes down

4 8 K (all different suits)

He bets half pot into me, I call

Turn comes a 2

He bets again into me this time pot size (I call, a little worried about my kicker) I decide to call.

The river is 2 again

He then checks to me on the river... now I think im good, but cos of the re-raise preflop I still unsure i think he might have ak so  I elect to check

He turns over K10. I win the pot.

Here is my question.. in this situation is it too risky to value bet the river, or should i have put in a half size bet..
