Villian is sethypoopoo. He seemed solid and had a nice stack on 2 tables I was on with him. I forget his stats, but they weren't anything abnormal.

When someone donks out on that flop I'd weight their range much more towards flush draws than a Q or set.

That being said, I still might pot control the turn and snap off a bluff on the river. But, I don't think your line is fine. But, if you bet on the turn I think it's to protect against the flush draw, which makes calling the river kinda mandatory.

I'd really expect a c/r at some point with a set, and a smaller river bet (blocking bet) with a Q.

How does a bet of $22 into a pot of $51 protect against a flush draw? Even in position that's offering some juicy implied odds. To really protect against it, I would think it would be necessary to bet more like 3/4 pot and also feel fine about felting 2nd pair on that turn and almost all non-[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] rivers.
