Preflop - Good.

Flop - Good.

Turn - After the flop cap, I would plan on calling down without improvement. Showing that much aggression on the flop against a preflop raiser means a big hand. I'm guessing he probably has QJ/QT/JT/89. If it turns out he was capping with J9, well then now you have a read.

River - Well he didn't cap the turn, so he's afraid of something. Since he didn't raise here, he doesn't have QJ or JT. So I'm saying you either pulled the ole suck-resuck against QT or he was afraid and has 89.

I check-call from the turn on unless I otherwise improve (meaning hitting another Q).

The turn. Capping the flop, in my opinion, means he has better than top pair. Whether it is two pair, a set, or a straight, he has something. I am guessing he has a set or two pair, but he could have the K9, or 89?

His turn raise suggests he can beat TPTK. I think you have to consider QJ or JT by then, and should check call it down.

Also possible he was jacking a straight draw, but I don't think you'd be posting this if that were the case [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
