Ok, Villain told me that he bluffed me on the river about 10 minutes after this play. Could I have prevented from being out-played or could I have figured it out and made the call on the river ? Here is the hand. I hate being out-played but I hate making bad calls much more.

Hero $82
villain $55

4 handed

Hero has Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in BB
Villain is in MP

Everyone limps to me
Hero raises to $2
Everyone calls


Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] pot=9
SB checks
Hero bets $6
Villain calls
Button folds
SB folds

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (this card scared me) pot=20

Hero checks
Villain bets $8
Hero calls

river: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pot=$35
Hero bets $6
Villain raises All-in for $38

Only about the 10th hand at the table and I really hadn't seen much from villain. My thoughts were that he was a half-way decent player. Is his thinking that this play only has to work more than 50 % of the time to make money on it since he's getting even money provided that I fold. He was being awfully candid with me. He said that he was on tilt a bit after having a bad night.

Can someone help me understand the psychology here and would you have made the call on the river ? Try to be objective.
