QQ hand
 

After all the action preflop and on the flop, I was ready to call down, fearing AA or KK.

Was the turn check alright? I don't think it was too bad, but now I think betting out (and calling down if raised) might've been better.

Since he checked behind on the turn, I should've bet the river. I'm not sure what I was thinking there. I think I was just so surprised that he checked behind on the turn.

With no A's or K's on the board, I would bet again on the turn - I'm not convinced he has AA or KK yet.

After he checks the turn you MUST bet the river.

Am I the only one who would attempt to check-raise the flop, seeing that the Button capped the pre-flop raise?

Being head's up against the preflop capper, I don't think it's necessary. It shows strength, but so does betting the flop after calling a preflop cap.

I'd probably bet the turn as well here, call a raise, and check the river if raised on the turn. If called on the turn, I bet out again.

As it is, you need to bet this river. You'll be shown TT, JJ, AK, and even AQ often enough to make this a value bet.

What if you bet the river and you get re-raised? Is that a call or fold?

(I don't know the answer - I'm curious what people think.)

You should bet the river and call. Folding would be terrible.

Re: QQ hand
 

I would probably lead the turn and see if he raised me there. Since you didn't I think you have to bet the river.

Re: QQ hand
 

You HAVE to bet this river.

bet the river after they check the turn.
