hows my play on all streets? anyone raise anywhere? once he checked the river i thought JJ or AK were likely. QQ not v.likely obv since i have the other 2, aa/kk very possible but i'd imagine he'd bet the river with them.

i shoved in hopes of getting called by JJ or maybe a crying call from AK. good? or should i just check behind?

thanks!

That works ... I would raise the flop, shove over his turn bet

You got your $$ in, nh

I prefer a check behind. No way are we getting called by AK here, and the hands we beat that call us (TT-JJ) make up a small enough part of Villain's range that there's not much value to be had in shoving.
Basically, if you thought QQ was good in this spot, you should have gotten the money in sooner. You have to put Villain on a range before the river if you're putting your whole stack in.

i wasnt sure if QQ was good, after the small turn bet i decided i was gonna call down (should I shove turn?) anyway once he checks the river i decide my hands prolly good, and shove!

any other opinions - about all streets?

cheers!

Without reads I probably just check behind on river. But maybe I`m just a nit and loosing value there. I just don`t see him having AK here, and I don`t wan`t some scared villain to show me KK-AA (never underestimate the power of donk stupidity).

Raise the flop.

cheers! guess i should just check behind river.. he called w/ AA, i really couldnt understand how someone couldnt bet AA/KK there, whats he think i bet with that i dont call with!?!? oh well, guess that makes me the donk for paying off!
