Re: a set against sonicboom
[ QUOTE ]
so as it went, he checked the turn and I thought for a while and checked behind.
the river was an 8 and he bet 350.
he has 1200 left after this river bet.
now whats his hand range and whats our play?

This is exactly why you need to bet the turn here. You are drawing live against AQ if you get it in on the turn and you get maximum value from your hand if he has KJ-AK-10-10. Waiting until the river to bet/raise makes it a lot easier for you to bemaking the mistake and for him to be escaping with a second best hand.
Also some players will make an aggresive play with QQ or KQ with a big checkraise on the turn, but you only get 350 more when they miss the river and bluff.
