Looks good to me. A set would have raised you at some point. I think you might get shown Q7 or a 56. I play it the same.

You could consider raising preflop depending on how much the limpers suck and how tight the players are behind you. It's not automatic, though. Other than that, nice hand.

stoli,

I like it all the way. Like Stoli on the rocks too.

Suggestion: Can you guys try cutting off the action somewhere. In this hand maybe just cut off villains final action on the river. It can taint the thought process when reading and taint the advice you get on the hand.

For instance, if villain 3-bet you on the river in this hand...

Is Mp1 loose enough to hit a smaller two pair, like Q7, Q4? If he isn't I might call the river. It looks like he doesn't know if his two pair is good or he's scared of his small set.

I'd play it the same way and expect to see him turn over Q's up with a lower second pair. If he has a small set I'd of expected a reraise on the turn or river. smart players might slowplay and call the turn, but the donks usually won't.

I think you will get shown a crappier two pair or a lone queen here shown frequently that raising again is correct.

I think you played it fine given the information you had. I think MP1 played silly, especially on the river. You're obviously not going anywhere, and the river card is not likely to have helped anyone. So, if he thinks he's ahead, he should three-bet, and if he thinks you're likely to be ahead (but that the pot is big enough and his holdings good enough to warrant calling a bet) he should check/call.

It sounds like he may have either a lone queen, a weaker two pair, or possibly bottom set. I suppose it's also possible that he has QT.
