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.

That seems like a very read-dependent call on the river. I don't really get why you bet the turn unless you knew he was capable of floating the turn and bluffing the river, or calling two streets with less than TT. There are some plausible hands that you're beating left from his BB calling range like 99-55. He also knows there's a lot of hands in your range, like JJ-55, that his QJ is beating and might look him up. Overall, I don't see why the pot has to be that big on the river. It's a much less stressful decision if it's $51 instead of $95.
