was the river bet terrible? and is this an easy fold in this spot? why would i want to put over half my stack in to most likely at best split 350.

i'd HAVE to call...and give him a "nh" for his quads

with only a single card beating you (or AA), 'value' betting the river is fine IMO.

Call me crazy, but i check-call the river.

Get mid pairs to bluff at the pot, while keeping the pot small for the case queen's value bet.

call.
