This is a play that I'll make about once in a million years, but MP was a loose-aggressive fish and I figured he'd have bet more if he had a queen. He went ballistic in the chat after this hand.

Nice read.

If you trust your read I would not mind raising the river

or the turn?! don't want to give him a chance to hit his card on the river

Raising the turn would have cost him 800 for sure. You read him for overcards, he has 6 outs. If by some miracle (grin) my read is wrong and he has QJ I don't really want to let him put me all in on the river.

I think the low variance play is to raise or c/r the flop.

Do you still call if the river is ??? I guess you have to fold if it's another Q.

I dont like raising the turn for 2 reasons
1. I dont think you take the pot on the turn unless you massively overbet, and the river may be a scare card for your pretty weak hand. His read pretty much put opponent on 2 overcards that are not Q or flush draw, so I would see that the river is not heart of high card before betting.
2. call preflop, call the flop, call the turn, raise the river - this is a classic behaviour of a flopped set with middle-low pairs, even a fish may recognize the pattern
