Could be a great call for all I can tell. I dunno what your read on the guy was!

My "read" was that the villain was bluffing with A-x, where x < Q and doesn't pair the board. But I had no solid evidence from previous hands he would make this bluff, other than it's not uncommon among the other fish at this level. I should have given him credit for at least top pair.
