ten mins into bio 214 at an unremarkable table i get QQ on the button.

UTG posts (5+2) and open raises, i three bet and the BB and utg call.

Flop Ah 9c 6c

bb checks, utg bets, i raise, bb folds, utg calls

Turn pairs the 9, utg bets, i call,

river 5s, utg bets i call.

This is the last time i play it this way.

Yeah... hard to see you taking this one down. Either A or 9 have you annihilated, I wouldn't mind seeing a fold on the flop, honestly.
More importantly, I think the Indiana Jones reference in this confessional ameliorates the mistake.
keep playing player.

This is more of a general question, since I'm new to SH. But how often do you find that players will continue to bet into you on the turn in this situation, with TT or JJ? Does that bet on the turn mean it's an insta-fold for you?

I am not saying i am instafloding the turn here- someitmes i likely will fold- but the real problem is the willingness to put 2 more bets in by calling the turn and river bets. It would be much better to raise the turn/fold to a three bet, and then check behind on the river.
