the more i think about this i think i should just c-f the river. He probably wont bet the river with QQ.

[Stealthy]

I think you played it fine.

[Luckboxer]

I would prefer to check call, and get some money from worse hands, than to be the bettor.

No one likes a flop bet? I think if he is any good at all He knows exactly what you have (ie a big pair scared of the ace) and can get you off of it? As played check/fold river.

[Dan Bitel]

I would check the turn too i think

I'm betting the flop here too.
You can bet/fold if you're raised, or re-evalutate on the turn if you're called.

Checking this flop doesn't help yourself play the other streets, imho.

Yea, it makes the hand easier to play but i'm missing all value from TT-QQ if i bet the flop.

There's also a small possibility you got bluffed by exactly those hands, (although JJ got there).

[lurkling]

you might be losing value from QQ-TT but youre also making the decisions harder on yourself. do you want an easy flop fold or a hard river call?
