Second pair top kicker

villain is solid 24/12, I had been playing very aggro in co
and button, basically raising every time. I'm pretty sure he notices. We have not tangled much postflop however. He took
a while before he checked turn, and took a while before he called turn.

He can have a really wide range here, draws, middle pairs, Qxc. Probably you fold out the first to types of hands since your line looks strong and consistent.If you fold out a Q, i guess this is something you can judge better.

I mean you dont really value bet here (unless he so loose that he calls off your bets with a middle pair like 66-99) so you are basiclly asking if the river bet is big enough to make him lay down his hand?

Since the probabilty that he will call you with a Q on the river and fold any other hands is quite big, wouldnt have a bet of around 190 achieved the same?

I don't think he has a queen that often here
