Default Stars 25NL - River Play

No reads, half an orbit into the table. Was this river play dangerous? Does he call with a lower two pair or AK? Or does he only call with hands that beat me? Do I have reason to suspect he has a Q? Should I have checked the river and called a bet?
Any other comments would be welcome too.

Thanks,
Mike

First off, fold preflop.

That all in push first to act looks ridiculous to me after he called down your turn bet.

Any Q is beating you, this guy raised preflop (after he called your huge bet on the turn I would think he may even have AQ). All you are beating is a busted heart draw.

Preflop is a fold. Often dominated.

Either Check or Pot Bet on the Flop. You're giving a great price for draws.

I prefer a Pot Bet on the Turn instead of a Check-Raise as he could easily Check behind.

This is a real tough spot. Every option seems to be close in EV.

bet the turn def. we have top two and there are lots of draws here which we want to charge to draw. worst thing is having him check behind. i prefer not going all in on the river because if he has any piece with a draw he may look us up for a little less. lay him 6:1 on the river and a weak 10 that had a draw will pay us off here but a push will def make him fold. this is a tough spot though because if we do make a small bet and he pushes with our weak bet would we want to call it? but if youre willing to push and see if hes gonna call then this line is better because we still get all our money in and hopefully get him to put his stack in. this is a tricker line and not one i would use too often but if you think he was drawing and this is the only way to extract money from him then give it a shot
