I check/call a smallish bet on the river. Why did MP2 check the flop and then call the turn? It seems like he has a hand like TT, 99, or AT and because he played it so weak, I don't think I'm putting him on a Queen.

That was exactly my thought - so I checked the river to let him make a bluff.

So, what happened?

River: Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (pot 780)

Hero checks, <font color="red">MP2 bets 500</font>, Hero ???

I may be wrong, but I think we HAVE to call because we checked to induce a bluff and now have to follow through.

I hope someone else responds.
