QJs: Probably against one of you chaps

[Robb]

Villain is very solid, TA, a touch tricky. UTG is ok, straight forward - I could be in trouble to a KQ/KJ. Haven't seen enough of him to know what his limping standards are though.

I think preflop, flop and river are debatable. For some reason, I wasn't thinking river check-raise prior to the river. Because I played the hand so oddly, especially the flop....there's a chance villain could have frozen up with an overpair on the river but the more I think about it a river bet by villain is pretty certain.

I hate the preflop 3-bet, especially if you think UTG is likely to have you dominated or share your cards. Three-betting the flop looks fine, as you have a good draw and people are likely to have one-pair or gutshot type hands and won't fold those. Looks like an easy river checkraise.

I don't find the pf 3-bet terrible, but I don't like it. The flop raise is clear, the results unfortunate.
Against most players I'd definitely go for a river checkraise, especially the way he's been playing the hand.
However, if this guy is really as good as you say, I'm thinking there's a good chance he can see that you very likely just made your hand and will check behind. I like the river bet.
