Default 4/180, QQ line check

This hand felt really strange to me. Villain and I both in top 5 chips at this point, early in the tourney. No real reads, and villain probably doesn't have many on me either (we weren't at the same table when we both won our stacks). Comments on all streets welcome, but turn and river especially. I was trying to figure out what villain could be playing so passively (limp call, call, call) here for relatively large bets.

1st instinct is like JT[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 76[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] since he limped-called your raise.

I don't think you can slow down until *maybe* the river,
but, yeah...villain's line is pretty wtf!

You might want to bet more on the flop to discourage draws, and just shove the turn.

I really hope this is a joke, you wanna shove 4x pot on the turn?

Anyway, I probably would have bet 900-1000 on the turn, but it's not a big deal. I don't like the river shove, what's calling? Villain's line is really, really odd. If he wasn't being such a station I'd like a check on the river to induce a bluff, but with this guy's calling tendencies I'd fire 1/2 or so trying not to lose a lone 9.
