This opponent was calling the raise with 22 or better. I have little doubt...especially considering my play will seem pretty odd to him.

Im curious, if you held QQ in this spot and reversed roles (where you are the villian)...do you call the checkraise?

I probably would knowing I shouldn't. But it's one of those situation where you just know what he has but have to see it...know what I mean?

Agreed. Like I said, facing a checkraise here, Id be like: game over man...game over.

He called the turn C/R. He either wants to go to showdown or is chasing a draw. I think against your "normal" PF 3-betting range opponent this is an easy bet on the river. You know he didn't 3-bet AK so that only leaves PP's that would like a showdown and will see it as cheap as possible or AQs that you are not getting a dime more from.
Now with this players range being larger and his bet(draw) when checked to mentality the "check the river" to induce a bluff becomes closer, but I don't think close enough to risk it getting checked through. As we extend his range to AT/9/8(for the induced bluff) we must also extend it to 66-22(for the would like to see a showdown cheaply)...I think. We also miss out on any (although slim) 3-bet opportunities.
