    Should I slow down here and just check behind on river? I put him on a weaker queen, that's why I bet out big hoping for a bad call from him, I've been playing pretty loose and cont bet almost all flops in position. Was really surprised seeing what he had.

    Looks fine. I guess you could go for $10 on the river, but whatever. He's a moron for not reraising the river (even a min-raise). Just think how many times you do this and they show down Q8 or J9.

    Yeah, I was real surprised he show no aggression at all, just calling down. I could have maybe made the bet smaller, but several of the players here do call bets like that on river even with midpair.
