That was my thought. I tend to slow down with a TPTK when I meet resistance... In this case, they both had paired the queen and I won a nice pot. Nonetheless, I was curious as to whether I should be pushing back for more bets or switching to cautious-caller mode.

i thought one of them had made 2 pair probably, but guess i was wrong. I don't think it's +EV to be pushign back with TPTK against unknowns. It just isn't a strong enough hand to stand up to it.

I agree. Even though most these people in these games are a bit fishy, a lot of them have sense enough to wait till the turn to raise when they flop a really strong hand. So I wouldnt slow up at all on the flop, even if it involves capping, but I think you made the right decision by slowing down on the turn.
