Re: river raise with Q high.
You have nut no pair and given the action on this hand...that's probably the nuts. A simple call would have been fine as it's unlikely that the CO is betting a Queen (he too would prefer a showdown). Maybe your raise gets the MP out if he rather than the bettor has a Queen (but that's counterbalanced by the possibility (albeit unlikely) that the bettor may have you beat and also by the possibility that the MP may not overcall with a Queen even if you just call).
Overall, I like calling the river and woould expect to win the pot.
