quick one

Your pre-flop call can't possibly be terrific. I'm more inclined to bet the flop. And bet the turn. I think a check gains more on the river. He may check a better hand behind saving you a bet. But he may also bet a busted draw gaining you a bet.

I just thought I would throw in the comment here that, with
T8, there really are not any "worse tens" to bet the river
if you check behind, so there is no value in that (there is
value in checking the river, just not because a worse ten
might bet). The opponent in this hand cold called two bets
before the flop, so a hand like T7, T6, etc is unlikely. I
like checking the river, but mainly to get a better hand to
check rather than a worse hand to bet.

That given the fact AA KK QQ could very easily be in his range makes this a checkcall and very close to a checkfold since the only hand he'll probably bluff (if he does bluff) is KQ as A high has showdown value.

opps, he was the coldcaller.

Anyhow, which is strange as i bet (a mistake) and he had QQ.

check and hope he checks a better ten behind on the river of bluffs or value bets something worse. basically youre toast most of the time here. the guy has a J and was being cute or timid or both on the turn. or he has a flush draw and he wont call. check that river, main reason being he might naively check behind with a better ten (which he will call with 100% of the time).

I check mainly because its the only way I can get more money in the pot when I am ahead.
AND, no way you are toast here most of the time, most of the time he missed and you will probably get another bet over 15% of the time when you check.
