Villain is TAG. Perhaps a bit on the passive side, but has moves.
Ok, I'm pretty sure I should've blocked the river for $50 or so. Now, how often is this the old double-float bluff? His river bet size sure looks like it doesn't want a call, I think he'd bet less with a flush, but I've had a lot of trouble trying to read that. My image is TAG but might be seen as over-aggro.

I've lost plenty of money to QQ with JJ plus it's a 3 flush paired board. That 4 of hearts just blows.

The full pot bet looks like a boat trying to stick it to a flush. I think I'm finding the fold button here almost always.

Wow, this sucks. You've already mentioned it, but I'd probably block the river for 50-60.

Other than a bluff, I don't see what he could play this way, other than a flush draw, though. Maybe even some sort of combo draw like 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Maybe I'm being too weak here, but I just can't see him betting that much with QJ or KJ, so I'd probably fold.
