    Thief wins $29.22 from  the main pot  with a full house, Queens full of aces.
    The only read I had on this guy was that he was a bit of a caller (not worth bluffing) but otherwise he was slowly losing his stack. A bit passive.

    Given that he didn't raise on my bet on the flop, I didn't put him on a flush at the time.

    How would you guys play this?

    I am especially interested in in this seeing how I flopped a big hand but there was clearly a much bigger hand possibility out there.

    Thanks

    I'd put him AI on the turn... passive player could mean that he was sitting on AQ or a set but didn't raise preflop, but I think you're ahead on the turn most of the time.

    The board is paired, flushing and full of broadway cards. To top it off he min-raised you on the turn. I think re-raising is a pretty bad idea.

    high board pair + uniform flop = danger will robinson
    take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

    Bet more on turn, less on river.
