Default Re: .02/.05 weird river check raise

I have 3 guesses:
1. He hit his king (unlikely, but maybe he had KQ)
2. He's holding a stronger queen than yours and read weakness in your river bet.
3. He had a flush draw and is trying to bluff you out (you did make a weak river bet).
4. He's been slowplaying a monster and is trying to get value out of you.

I'd say 2 and 4 are most likely, just off the top of my head. Two because he might have been looking for a TP showdown, but then saw the weak bet, and 4 because check-raise is a common monster line. Your hand really can't stand any heat (what could you possibly beat here?). I'd fold here and wait for a better shot. Keep an eye on him for reads.
