I'm kind of a noob when it comes to 2/4 online poker play, because I mostly play live 1-2. But I am slightly confused as to what you think he is calling you with on the turn.
This is my evaluation of the hand. You raise the flop and he calls. He could easily have 22, 88, AQ and KQ. QJ is possible but less likely. AQ is less likely since you already have an ace and 2 queens are present. 22 seems less likely, as he would be more apt to fold 22 preflop and call with 88. Although they are still in his range.
Other than that, he could be calling with air(AK, AJ), or hands like JJ, TT or 99 and is calling to gather more information on the turn. Plus he may think his middle pair is good.
You lead out strong again on the turn. Here he would fold the middle pairs, would think about folding KQ or QJ and would call with AK, AJ and AQ. He will likely raise his sets and AQ here but I don't know this for sure. (Maybe someone can help me with this one)
On the river I don't understand why you keep on firing, he is only going to keep calling large bets with sets and AQ...and I don't think A8 is really in his preflop range. It seems like I would normally check call the river, taking a conservative approach. My opponent may think his AK is good and bet, or he may bluff(although not likely given our strength throughout the hand).
If AK is not in his preflop range because he would 3 bet this preflop, then I still think check calling the river is better. Why keep making a large pot when the only hands that are calling are better hands than ours. The board texture is quite dry so he would be more apt to slowplay sets to us. His calls keep looking more like a hand that beats us.
If someone would be so enlightened to tell me why betting the river accomplishes anything I would be very thankful. Hopefully I am not coming off as though I know everything because I realise I do not.
