Flop is fine. Major spewage on the river.

I think you played it fine. He could raise river with KK, AA or AQs. At 1/2 those hands is often raised on this board. If you have a read that tell you otherwise you should just call river but against an unknown at this level I think you can dare a 3-bet.

Very rarely will someone play AA/KK like this, they would just jack it up earlier if they wanted to raise, and even if you are against someone who decided to wait til the river, they're less likely to raise now QQ has improved. The retard factor isn't high enough risking 2 to 1.

sharpie you're putting him on exactly qq?

[sharpie]

It's his most likely hand. Obviously unknowns will show up with something else, but not often enough getting ~1 to 2.

[Oink]

I agree with Sharpie.

With that flop action he has QQ-AA almost always. Since AA likely pops turn and KK as well sometimes his range is heavily skewed towards QQ after the turn. Also, raising that Q river with KK or AA would be a bit weird weird.

i guess assigning an average player read leaves pretty much exactly queens but theres allot of goofy players in this game...

eh, 3 bet it, loose the max with set under set like you should
