Did I Trap Myself? (3-3 PL at the Vic)

[rwanger]

He could easily have QJ, but it seems that 99 or 44 is just as likely.

I wouldn't worry about having "trapped" yourself in this scenario. QJ is open-ended with two overs, so even if you had raised the flop, he probably would have called and hit anyway.

Also, since he knows your style, do you think he puts you on a hand as strong as top set? Would he only do this with the nuts, or does he think that since you are tight (and if he was discussing you recently, he was probably thinking about what he could do to outplay you) you might lay down a big pair? Could he have something like KdQd?
