QQ line check

[FlyingSaucy]

First level of a $22 180 man sng. Looking for overall comments as well as my biggest question - was my river check behind wasted value?

I would bet the flop and turn a bit harder, maybe 3/4 pot rather than 1/2 pot, but meh.

On the river I would have thrown out a bet of 300 or so - I think you have the best hand here. I suspect that opp had a baby flush which has now been outflushed by your Q. That's consistent with the flop call (chasing) leading out on the turn when the 3rd hits and checking the river when the fourth one comes.

Interesting that he bet OOP on the turn. I bet this river for sure.

certainly bet the river, a small coaxing one. there are essentially only two cards that beat you, and it would take alot of balls or stupidity for him to just check with Kh or Ah on the river.
