Villian is donkish, open limps but don't know much of his Post flop play.

How's my line here with QQ, I wanted to shove the river but somehow the bet was smaller.

Edit: My first post wasn't very enlightening.

Turn really isn't a good card for you at all. Pretty much every draw he could chase got there. I would definately c/c the turn for pot control on such an ugly board.

Leading out serves no purpose besides bloating the pot, I would much rather c/c and hope for the board to pair or get to cheap showdown.

I would call a reasonable bet on the turn, and fold to his river push for sure unimproved. Maybe you have some idiots doing this with two pair, but I think this is a straight or flush A LOT.

I'd bet the turn, but I'd bet less ($12 or so) and fold to a raise. If he flats, I'd check/fold the river, maybe call a small bet. Don't like the blocking bet on the river here because you priced yourself in.

"no, you're wa/wb and you have outs if behind. "

plus if you make a boat your hand is really well disguised. He never folds a worse hand to your bet.

Hate the river bet. I probably just c/f tbh, unless he's really donk
