Line check? Did I miss value?

$1/$3 live NLHE

Hero ($400) in UTG+2
V1 in BTN ($500) - very competent - better skillset than me.
V2 in BB ($300) - I assumed a solid player at the time.


Table has been loose / passive limping, with the occasional PFR that gets pots to HU or 3-way.

UTG, fold.
Hero: QQ
Hero raise to $18
V1 calls on BTN
SB folds
V2 calls on BB

(Pot $50)

Flop 227

V2 / BB check
Hero $27
V1 / BTN folds
V2 / BB calls

(Pot $104)

Turn 3

V2 / BB check
Hero $43
V2 / BB calls

(Pot: $190)

River 5

V2 / BB check
Hero ???


Does Hero:
Check behind for showdown?
Bet & call a re-raise or an all-in?
Hero will almost NEVER bet-fold here, correct?

All looks good to me. Your hand is pretty faceup, so if you think he's a capable hand reader, and you are afraid he is going to put you in a tough spot when you bet/bet/bet, then check and take down the pot.

Check calling twice to check raise the river is an uncommon line at 1/2, and would definitely be fishy here. I would probably bet about $100 here and try to get him to hero with a random 7 or 88-JJ that just can't let go.

As played, $80-$90.

I would bet more, say $35-$40, on the flop. There are no draws, and many over pairs who will call. Sizing is inelastic imo. Get more value early.

I’d also bet more on the turn to set-up a river shove.

You'll almost never get c/r bluffed at $1/$2 so go for value and it isn't all that thin. A7 + 88-JJ are in his range (skewed towards the weaker part of his range). Plus they always put you on AK. Bet $100.

Bet fold river. Agree with other posters that we should tend to bet larger on previous streets and shove river vs most players.

$60 on the turn.
He isn't changing what he's calling with.

River as played is $80 - $90.
If we made it more on the turn, I'd go $110 - $125 on the river.
