Anyways, I was thinking about this hand and I am happy with my turn bet but the river bet was kinda iffy. From what Ive seen villain likes to raise 6xBB preflop and will sometimes bet on the flop or check and then way overbet on the turn..never a small bet from him. With him calling me down, I figured I could at least get a decent pot out of him. However, I realized the cost of this mistake because when he actually called my river bet I got more than a little nervous and I almost knew he was about to flip over some stupidass 2pair. I dont really think this is a good bet in the long run but that I just got lucky he was a moron. I have no idea why in the hell he played his QQ like that after all his huge betting in other hands.
