Bet, If you check your hand is face up as a marginal type hand and your river bet won't get any credit. If you check you only win if you hit, if you bet you can also win by getting him to fold.

On a side note, why are you 3 betting an unknown UTG raiser with KQo when you don't know how he will react?

3 betting with KQo vs an UTG raise is fine here vs some regs but not in this spot. You have no idea of his calling of a 3 bet range/his 4 bet bluff frequency, his continuing range of a cbet in a 3 bet pot, his UTG opening range etc.

3 betting just because you can is like lighting money on fire.

Sorry, my bad I misread the hand I thought the initial PFR was still in the hand and he as the unknown

If i'm going to be putting money in on the flop, it's because I checked first. Dead money with the draw homie.
