Default Re: 3/6 QQ 3 handed vs wild one

Guys. I know that flop is disgusting. Yes, I fold it most of the times (might raise it sometimes though). However, there were more streets in the hand. When villain leads for the pot, there are serious doubts it is a monster. No way he is betting a fulsh like that and he probably CR a set. Normally I would give up anyway, but this time I felt there is too good of a chance villain is doing it with nothing/draw/marginal hand, so I called, figuring he would likely give up on the turn with the board this scary. Same thing on the turn, it seemed way more likely that he wanted me to fold, so I was hoping to check behind on the river and see a showdown. When he led so weak on the river though, I thought he might have a hand with showdown value, like an A or two pairs, which would have trouble calling a raise. I mean he's got to worry about what I was calling with on flop and turn.

Regarding the comments about busted flush draw, yes, it might look like it, but
a) he might have been betting with FD himself, hand like K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J
b) I wasn't giving the villain enough respect for that kind of reasoning

Sometimes when it's very short and I think villain is not going anywhere, I don't mind playing a big pot with marginal hands if I think there's a good chance I'm ahead. The additional value is getting more action from villain with legitimate hands and getting a better idea of how he plays in big pots.
So any thoughts on other streets? Fold the turn, fold the river? =)
