QQ with paired board
 

I admittedly was confused by my opponent's play. He tended to attempt to slowplay big hands and I did see him bluff at a couple of pots. I had also seen him cold call preflop raises with small pocket pairs. He was a frowny (slightly loose preflop, aggressive preflop raising, passive postflop) after 50 or so hands.

Why not bet the river? If he wanted to slow play he would leave the raising for the more expensive street. Therefore he most likely does not have a ten due to the flop betting and the turn call (and not a raise). I'd bet this river.

Re: QQ with paired board
 

What about the flop or turn action led you to believe he didn't have a ten?

I think you gave too much action on the flop. If you're ahead, you're way ahead. If anybody's got a ten, you're hosed. In other words, I wouldn't mind MP2 coming along, and I don't want to barf chips all over the Button if he's holding trips.

I call the flop and turn and probably check/call the river.

You're saying this because you saw the check.

Well I felt pretty certain until all the flop action, then I wasn't sure.

Re: QQ with paired board
 

Ah, since the comment was placed after the flop action I thought it was what you thought upon seeing the flop action.

Villan showed down 66. Weird line he took no? Admittedly, it did mess my mind up a little.

Couldn't really bet the river when he bet the turn could I?

I was in call down mode and confused honestly ...
