shouldnt raise PF

Call the river

You played it ok, id definitely call the river. Id usually bet the flop.

Call river. You're ahead of a lot of hands, doubt he has the straight or FH.

RoadSweeper

Is anyone raising the turn?

Marq

not as much as I'm leading the flop.
I think this line is ok.
Call river.
Any other info on hands he has shown down?

RoadSweeper

Em, he had one showdown with JT. Top pair.

I was calling the river.

More looking for advice on flop and turn betting.

He had KK in the end.

You can't really judge much from 20 hands I think everyone has played 60% of 20 hands before.

How aggressive has he played post flop previously? He seems to be up a bit in this session so assuming he isn't a total donk I don't think he is betting after you check the river without a pretty big hand having seen you call on the turn. He could have a whole load of full houses or KJ he might have a ten but if he does I think he has to check the river as he knows he is only getting called by better hands. Having raised pre-flop what were you looking for on the flop for you to bet? bet $1 on the flop your not hitting more than top pair very often and if he thinkgs your at it raising from the SB your ahead of a whole loads of his range. If your feeling very aggressive check/raise the flop let him know you have a queen and see what he does if he still wants to play then you know that you need some help.

On the turn I don't mind a check/call if you've raised the flop but as played I think you need to bet or raise to see where you are if you make it $10 here then he's going to let you know if 3 queens is any good. Check/calling has made the river a lot harder now bets and raises would have given you a lot more info. AT, KT and TJ are possible but I think you are behind a lot more times than you are ahead. Did you call and see him flip over J8 or something?

Wow KK! Didn't see that one coming. I thought about what hands he could have that you beat and wrote off AA and KK totally! He's got himself into a mess trying to be tricky with this hand pre-flop. Once that second queen has come on the turn he's putting you on a ten and trying to get as much out of you on the river as possible. I don't think many people are going to fire a 3rd bullet here with an over pair as the board is pretty good for a load of hands your raising with pre-flop.
