Nuts or nothing, right?
 
Villain is Billybob8, standard solid FTP TAG-LAG - 23/22/8.5.I have 3bet him twice recently and he mucked.I am running a bit laggier than average and my image is probably that i splash around a bit, though not too much.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $5/$10
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $985
CO: $1097
Button: $1260.85
SB: $388.35
BB: $995

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $35</font>, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($115, 3 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $90</font>, CO calls, SB folds.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($295, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets $180</font>, Hero calls.

River: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($655, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets $480</font>, Hero calls.

My reasoning throughout the hand.

Flop - Perfect spot for him to float.
Turn - He knows i can c/r AQ/KK/AA with this card.
What does he bet?
AQ and QQ reraises preflop, 22 is less likely, does QK/QJ, 88-JJ really bet the turn?Imo, it would much more likely to check behind.So i am getting suspicious here.55 is the only hand that makes sense in his range that would bet this.

River - Well, my hand is as good as AK.I beat floats and random small pairs that he decided to turn into bluffs.I don't beat 55,22 and KQ.
Obviously, turn+river is very marginal, but i'd like to get some thoughts about this...
What if i really did have AK here, do you call?

Not a perfect spot to float the flop with a player behind him. I just c/f turn.

Nuts or nothing is ridiculous here. He is betting the river with literally his entire range. I think this is a bluff enough for us to want to snap it off, though I expect to be shown QJ or similar some reasonable % of the time. I don't expect to be shown 99+/AQ+ here at all, he would surely 3bet you preflop.

By "nothing" i mean, his range is either FH/Quads/QK or air/some small pair he decided to turn into a bluff.

I just can't see QJ betting both turn and river...or any Q for that matter.And i also agree, that he would 3bet me with 88+/AQ+, that is why those hands don't make a lot of sense.

Looks an awful lot like 55 or KQ. Hes not floating very often with a player behind...

if the guy is 23/22 over a decent sample then a very large part of his (miniscule) calling range here is 22-66 and unfortunately for you that range nailed the flop so i'm gonna say u r either crushed or he is bluffing with 33 or 44

Ok, what is the in between hands you put in his range that play like that?

looks like nuts or nuts imo...he'd have to be floating the flop with a player behind him with complete air.

edit: by nuts i mean big queens and better
