People can't have it both ways here.

Those suggesting raising/shoving are obviously assuming he's dumb enough to bet and call a worse queen here (which is horrible). But at the same time, they're also saying there's no way he could have gotten here with a 3 unless it was some sort of monster like A3ss. This is a steal situation where the only paint is a Q. A pair of threes isn't just giving up their hand here.

There are way more hands with weak queens or threes than there are strong queens in his range. Without a postflop read, raising or shoving the river is bad. Call and start learning how he plays postflop.

BETTING or shoving? are you saying you dont value bet this river if he checks, so that you can "learn how he plays postflop"?

PLEASEEEE tell me i misunderstood you?

how is this NOT a reason to shove the river? because you think he checks the weak queens and bets the 3 or something?

I shove all-in. The river bet looks very weak to me. If villain shows a X3 or a full house so be it. I don't believe that villain has trips. The weak bet smells like KQ/QJ/QT.

Typo corrected: raising, not betting. You obviously value bet the river 100% of the time when checked to. However, once he leads out - if his range is primarily weak queens and threes then raising/shoving makes little sense as there is no reason to expect him to call with a weak queen (though he may - again postflop read) and you're value stacking yourself when he has a three.

I think that you are WA/WB. I would call. I think that the villain was making a 1/3 pot blocking bet with a weak queen or an underpair of some kind hoping for a cheap showdown.

I don't think that a raise would get called by a worse hand.

Shove.

He's probably blocking with his [censored] queen. Shove and make him tank.
