Been at the table for an orbit or two. No reads on villain.

PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($111.65)
Hero ($56.55)
UTG ($50.50)
Button ($24.00)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG raises to $2, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.50.

Flop: ($4.25) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $4, UTG calls $4.

This flop probably didn't hit him and I don't want to check/fold or check/call a C-bet. I plan to check/fold after his call.

Turn: ($12.25) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks.

See?

River: ($12.25) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $5, UTG raises to $15, Hero...???

Oh snap! The raise is interesting because this hand has played out in a very odd way. I think the only hands villain can make this play with are JJ+, AQ, and a bluff with AK (maybe worse?). Obviously, QQ is the only hand that scares us out of that range.

With that in mind, do we call as we don't have the nuts or raise because of the deception and strength of our hand?

meh, call

Would QQ really check behind on the turn like that?
I think I'd be raising, but I am occasionally donkesque.

The question is what worse hands will call a push (which is what a raise would be). AQ? 87? A donkily played AA or KK?

That raise is either a monster (could be), someone overplaying their hand (possible) or a missed draw taking a stab at the pot(reasonably possible).

I am tempted to raise, but river raises are rarely bluffs so I take the cheap showdown.

I just call.
