BL mucks (pure bluff)

Some info now. Obviously I am the RT in this event. Both times he was thinking (for long periods) I sat motionless staring at the same spot on the table (as always). Each time it was my turn to act I moved in the same standard fashion I always do when moving chips into the pot. My hands weren't shaking, no hollywood or launching chips. Just calmly pushing chips out to bet each time.

When the hand was over RT said he "had a read" that I didn't have it. What I am at a loss on is why he took so long on the river if he had such a good "read". At that point if I had the flush all along, it was no good now. The only hands he is beaten by are TT, JJ, Qx, KK or AA on the river. If he thought I had the Qx then why call the two bets prior? Did I make a bold bluff that most good players would have folded to? Was it a silly bluff? Obviously on the river I am selling quad queens...a tough sell. On the flop maybe he is just looking me up, doesn't think I would bet out a flopped flush. BUT, the corner? This is where RT loses me..don't see a good player calling here with 2nd pair on that board.
