QQ against TAG

Harv it's like your in my head. How can I bet the river when I'm almost sure a raise is coming and that I'll have to fold to that raise. I mine-as-well just check and call, both options will cost me one BB but checking and calling lets me see his hand.

I chose to check and fold though because with this board and villians stats and his turn call I'm sure I'm beat. If the pot was maybe giving me 11 to 1 I think I would check call. Against a different type of player I would almost certainly bet the river.

I don't like the river check/fold. Me thinks you got taken here by a smaller pair. No way he is playing 22 or 88 this way. He has a field day if you have AK and can get you to goto war on the turn.

He could have an ace (I would play an ace this way) but a TAG isn't going to be coldcalling with Ax in this spot.
