looks fine, but you need to bet the river.

I would 3 ball PF and raise the flop. River is a must bet.

Re: blind battle played like a biotch
 

PF you could 3B that.

I wouldn't raise the flop because you might be behind a Queen and if your not, you don't need to make it easy for Villain to fold. If he has a lower pocket pair you want him to stay in, if he has an Ace X you want him in with his 3 outs. If he has an Ace- Jack your beat, if he has AT he has five outs and you can let him stay and draw as the odds he's getting are not good enough.

I'd bet the river.

im not saying i should have checked behind on the river, but just to play devil's advocate a bit:

what worse hands are calling compared to what better hands would play it this same way? Tough to say exactly vs an unknown but if i bet, am i definitely good 50% of the time I'm called? What is his calling range here? this includes the rare sexies or bluff check-raises (maybe negligible?) I'm folding to.

I think its at least some what close and i think IMO I'd bet but thought maybe it was worth some thought..

Against unknowns I assume they open raise a large range in SB and 3bet.

Bet the river for value.

Biotch.

Word. Not 3-betting this PF is a pretty big mistake, IMO. You have a ton of equity, there a lot of flops you will pick up UI that you otherwise would have folded, and meta-game is actually pretty significant here.
