40-80 Red Queens

I can't imagine he means call the flop, and call down...
Though it has been done before...Will someday be done again - but that's the only thing I can see as 'under representing' a hand on this board.

Calling on the turn appears to be a rather borderline decision which can ultimately be solved by putting your opponent on a hand which seems to be the toughest problem in this hand. You are getting around 9 to 1 and you can give yourself all of the tens as outs for the win. AQ is a very unlikely holding for villian. The only way you are not going to take the entire pot if a ten falls is if villian is also holding a queen which seems extremely unlikely giving him raise on the turn. The only hand that he could have that contains a queen based on his play is QJ, KQ, or QQ. KQ would be a very odd raise on the flop, QQ would be odd raise on turn and also mathematically doesnt seem to probable as does any hand that contains a queen, and QJ seems improbable with the raise on the turn. The odds against you completing your straight are about 11 to 1. With the pot so big on the river I think you would probably get called which would result in implied pot odds of 10 to 1. If you give yourself one queen as an out you are 9 to 1 to make the hand which would make a call even without the extra gained bet on the end correct. Giving yourself both queens make you a 7.5 to 1 dog which makes a call the clear decision. Ultimately your call comes down to whether or not a queen will give you the best hand. I dont think you have much fold equity at this point plus I dont see a scary card that can come on the turn that wouldnt help your hand and that would scare him off his hand enough to make him fold.

Thanks for the great responses.

Keith- really appreciate all the time you put into this hand for me.

As for what I put him on...

Pre flop- I put him on a A probably a suited A or a pocket pair. I didn't put him on AK because I thought he would cap it pre-flop.

The flop was not a great one for me, but not horrible either. If it was 4 or 5 handed, I'd hate my hand. When he popped me on the turn, I put him on a set. Therefore, I thought I had about 6 outs (2 Qs and 4 10s).

When I whiffed the river I was caught in one of those situations where the odds seemed right to call.
