Default floped straight, board pairs on river.

Party Poker $2/$4 limit hold'em (9 handed)
I am CO with Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG raises. UTG+1 calls. I wasnt sure about this call but the blinds were pretty loose and I had good possition so I decided to call. Button folds. Small blind calls, big blind calls.

Flop: (10 small bets)
K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (yes!)

small blind checks, big blid checks, utg checks, utg+1 bets
now big blind was really loose chasing a lot of draws so i thought he would hang along for two bets. so i raise. everyone folds to UTG+1 who calls.

Turn: (7 Big bets)
4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG+1 checks, I bet, he calls.

River: (9 Big bets)
10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
he bets out. I raise, he reraises.

I really didnt put him on a set on the flop. The assumption he didnt have a set was reinforced in my mind when he check calls on the turn. On the other hand he didnt seem that aggressive in past hands, altho he sat down pretty recently so i didnt know. So i wasnt sure if he would bet out AT, or something, on the flop.

You shouldn't cold call w/ QJo, it's easily dominated.

So you can call or raise on the river, he could have slow played a set, or he could have trip tens. Probably even money either way...

Cold callng w/ QJo will cost you much more in the long run.

yeah i thought it wasnt particularly good, but i figured that in late possition with a bunch of people going in it wasnt too bad.

You got the ONLY flop that's going to make you happy.

Even Q high flops will make you wary if any aggressions shown.

okay, i thought that my possition would mostly compensate for that, but i guess thats not true. btw, i capped the river and he didnt show.

I would have just called the river 3-bet. And yes, fold preflop.
