Was looking back at some hands and this one came up. Villain's stats are 46/8.7/1.6 and WtSD 30% over 207 hands. I'm not sure about this river fold.

villans aggression is fairly high for someone playing 46% of his hands...i'd have to call the river, but i'm curious about what others think.

I'm not sure of my read on him at the time, but by default turn raises mean top pair or better. Especially since I have raised PF and the texture of the board. It could also have been a flush draw or straight draw semi bluff. Since I have 2 queens that removes a lot of the straight draw possibilities. The only other one is the flush draw which hits.

I've been recently trying to not just say "hey, I got second pair I should call" and instead actually think about what the turn raise means. I felt fairly confident it wasn't a bluff, and considering my PF raise and the texture it meant TP or better (most likely better).
