Default Was I right to slow down on the river?

Flopped trips, turned a full house, but with the action I thought it was definitely possible that someone's two pair had turned into queens full, so I decided to call down the river after the turn got capped. Was this right or can I keep betting this river for value in this massive pot?

We need reads on UTG. What would he limp in here with? Also how aggressive is he?

Without reads I'm capping the river. He might fall in love with his trip Queens

Keep in mind that you should think about what I say instead of accepting it blindly. Reads would help a lot, but in general I think your average .5/1.00 players sucks pretty bad and is much more likely to be capping the turn with a hand you beat. I think I lead the river and call a raise, though I'm sure it is close.

No solid reads as I had only been at the table for a couple orbits, but UTG seemed to be pretty LAG, betting his strong and marginal holdings strongly. He plays a wide range of hands and turns them into two pair or trips on good flops. I don't know enough about him to solidly put him on a hand but I'd say he most definitely has a queen and might have fallen ass backwards into a weird full house on the turn.

Raise again on the river. Call a 3-bet.

i'm putting another bet on the river: bet/call? he'd have to play an absolute crap hand, 77, or uber-weak QQ to beat you.
